This PR addresses #186.

It adds a function popcenters to read center of population data files from https://www.census.gov/geographies/reference-files/time-series/geo/centers-population.2000.html. These are stored as flat files at the census, so this function converts them to sf data.frames to align with other functions in the package.

Some files do have missing coordinates for certain geometries. E.g. Alabama census tracts in 2000. Currently this leaves NA geometries in the result, but I could also exclude them.
