Character vectors lose leading zeroes

Please specify whether your issue is about:

• [x] a possible bug
• [ ] a question about package functionality
• [ ] a suggested code or documentation change, improvement to the code, or feature request

Writing and reading seem to mess up character vectors with leading zeroes.

data <- data.frame(x = 1, y = c("10", "05"))
file <- tempfile()
csvy::write_csvy(data, file, name = "abc")
csvy::read_csvy(file)
#>   x  y
#> 1 1 10
#> 2 1  5
str(csvy::read_csvy(file))
#> 'data.frame':    2 obs. of  2 variables:
#>  $ x: num  1 1
#>  $ y: chr  "10" "5"
#>   ..- attr(*, "levels")= chr  "05" "10"
#>  - attr(*, "profile")= chr "tabular-data-package"
#>  - attr(*, "name")= chr "abc"

read_csvy does not use the fields metadata at all when reading columns: https://github.com/leeper/csvy/blob/master/R/read_csvy.R#L68C1-L71C6
