Speed comparison with plater::read_plate()

The plater package was an inspiration for me to write tidyplate. There are two issues with plater::read_plate() function that I wanted to fix. These are:

  1. Performance.
  2. Incompatibility with excel files.

tidyplate::tidy_plate() can accept excel files as input and after running several performance tests I can say that tidyplate::tidy_plate() was significantly faster than plater::read_plate(). The benchmarking code is in the inst folder.
