## mice 3.14.0

New submission. 

## Reason

A report from CRAN indicates that `install.on.demand()` breaks the CRAN work flow, so an urgent update is needed. In addition, there are many changes and improvements since the last CRAN version 3.13.0 published in Jan 2021.

## Test environments

* local OS X install, 11.6, R 4.1.2
* win-builder
* Rhub

## Local check

Package built by

```{r eval = FALSE}
library("devtools")
build()
```

```{bash eval=FALSE}
R CMD CHECK mice_3.14.0.tar.gz
```

Status: OK

## win-builder

```{r eval=FALSE}
devtools::check_win_devel()
```

Status: OK


## Rhub checks

```{r eval=FALSE}
devtools::check_rhub()
```

Results:

1. Debian Linux, R-devel, GCC ASAN/UBSAN: Success
3. Ubuntu Linux 20.04.1 LTS, R-release, GCC: Success
4. Fedora Linux, R-devel, clang, gfortran: Success


## Downstream dependencies

I have run 

```{r eval=FALSE}
library(revdepcheck)
revdep_reset()
revdep_check(num_workers = 10)
```

### `failures.md`

There is one old failure (`dynr`): `configure: error: gsl-config not found, is GSL installed?`
Not related to `mice`.

Not sure whether it's related to `mice`, and seems relatively benign if it is. The package maintainer of `CALIBERrfimpute` is aware of the problem, and will look into the issue.
