[acs-r] fetch census data and estimates alongside ACS

[Ezra Haber Glenn]

Unfortunately, although the API provides access to the decennial data,
the acs.R package is not currently configured to access it (the format
for the api calls is a bit different, and the data fetched doesn't
include standard errors).  That said, I think I can pretty easily
write up a modified version of acs.fetch() to provide this
functionality, at least is a clunky way  -- give me a day or so to try
it out.
