V4.4.0

[4.4.0] - 2022-11-14

Added

• Enhanced @rayewright added a half dozen more ML procs to the sasViyaML package for Viya.

Changed

• Enhanced Added documentation specifically identifying datatype conversions between SAS data Sets
  and Pandas dataframes; both directions. This was added in the AdvancedTopics section of the doc and the other
  couple parts of that section also about data movement were moved to all be contiguous and thus make all more
  clear. No code changes, just documentation.

• Enhanced Added documentation for the IOM access method regarding authentication. The Configurations
  section already specifies how to authenticate with different means, but now there's a part of the doc explicitly
  identifying which methods are supported and the one method that is not supported; SAS Token Authentication.

• Enhanced @andyjessen cleaned up some links in the doc that were still referring to master instead of main
  for the branch they linked to.

• Enhanced The HTTP access method, to Viya, requires a valid authentication token be passes to every request.
  This token is acquired when calling SASsession(). This token had been set to expire after 10 hours. Viya has been changed
  to have these tokens expire after 1 hour, so to keep this from causing problems for SASPy sessions, which can be
  interactive and last much longer than one hour, I've added support to reauthenticate and get a new authtoken prior
  to the current one expiring. This happens as long as the SASsession object is valid and connected. There are no coding
  changes required in user code. This should all just happen under the covers with no requirements on the user or program.
  I did add a method for explicitly refreshing the authtoken, but that should not be required at any time. But, it may
  be of use as a diagnostic in the field if there are ever issues reauthenticating. So, again, no code changes required.
