dbparser: Drugs Databases Parser

Parses drug and gene databases from their downloaded files: the 'DrugBank' XML database <https://go.drugbank.com/>, the 'OnSIDES' and 'TWOSIDES' adverse drug event databases, Human Phenotype Ontology ('HPO') gene-phenotype associations, the 'HGNC' gene nomenclature files, Health Canada's Drug Product Database ('DPD') data extract, and the 'openFDA' 'Drugs@FDA' and 'NDC' directory downloads. The parsed tables are returned in an 'R' object called 'dvobject', which records the source release, licence and file hashes.
