Drop dependence on magrittr package and use pipe operator built into R 4.1.0

[luifrancgom]

Hello Jesse Piburn,

I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to share a suggestion regarding the usage of the pipe operator in your code. I noticed that the %>% operator from the magrittr package is used a few times in your code, specifically around 3 instances in the wbstats::wb_data function.

Considering that the |> operator was introduced in R 4.1.0, I wanted to suggest replacing %>% with |> in your code. This could potentially allow you to reduce your dependence on the magrittr package.

Furthermore, I came across a discussion here that highlights the performance benefits of using the |> operator compared to %>%. It seems that |> is faster, which might be advantageous for your code.

I understand that the wbstats package relies on R (≥ 3.2), so I'm not entirely sure how this change might impact the overall package. However, I wanted to bring this to your attention as a possible improvement worth considering.
