Summary description: Simple CSV file processing

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
### Added

(revised, adapted and extended from the old documentation)
- `\thecsvcolumncount`
- Option `autotabular*`
- Option `autobooktabular*`
- Option `autolongtable*`
- Option `autobooklongtable*`
- Option `filter bool`
- Option `filter fp`
- Option `range`
- `\csvautotabular*`

- `\ifcsvfpcmp`
- `\ifcsvintcmp`
- `\csvsortingrule`

### Changed
- Complete re-implementation of the hitherto existing latex package
as LaTeX3 package using the expl3 interface. From now on, three package
files are provided:
** `csvsimple-legacy.sty` identical to csvsimple until version 1.22 **
** `csvsimple-l3.sty` LaTeX3 package of csvsimple **
** `csvsimple.sty` stub to select `l3` or `legacy` (default) **
- The LaTeX2e version (`csvsimple-legacy`) will be maintained in its
current state with no intended changes with exceptions of bug fixes.
- The LaTeX3 version (`csvsimple-l3`) is regarded to be the main package
and may receive feature upgrades in the future
- Existing documents using csvsimple v1.22 need no change since loading
`csvsimple` will load `csvsimple-legacy`.
- `cvsimple-l3` is a *nearly* drop-in replacement for `csvsimple-legacy`.
Only very few things phased out and the user interface is quite identical.
The most significant difference is that `l3keys` are used instead of `pgfkeys`
which may need adaptions on user side (for examples, if .styles are used)
- New documents are encouraged to apply `cvsimple-l3` instead of `csvsimple-legacy`.
- For the complete package is valid: do not upgrade from version 1.22, if your
TeX installation has no current LateX3/expl3 support a.k.a *is too old*
- `csvinputline` and `csvrow` are no longer LaTeX2e counters
- The hitherto existing documentation `csvsimple.pdf` is now `csvsimple-legacy.pdf`
- `csvsimple.pdf` documents the stub package and differences
between `csvsimple-l3.sty` and `csvsimple-legacy.sty`
- `column count = 0` means automatic column number detection for CSV files without head
- Option `head` does not change option `check column count` anymore
- Changelog moved from CHANGES to CHANGES.md and adapted to
[Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/)
- From now on version numbers adhere to
[Semantic Versioning](http://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html)

### Deprecated
- `\csviffirstrow`
- `\csvifoddrow`

### Removed
- `\csvheadset`
- Option `filter`
- Option `nofilter`
- Option `nohead`
