Downloads and parses the latest zipped (numbered) version of the ITRDB.
This function includes improvements to the \code{\link{read_crn}} function from the 
\pkg{dplR} library. The principle changes are better parsing of metadata, and support
for the Schweingruber-type Tucson format. Chronologies that are unable to be read
are reported to the user.
