R6 Class containing specific attributes and methods for Google data

Google specific information for downloading, cleaning and processing covid-19 region data for an example Country. The function works the same as other national data sources, however, data from Google supports three subregions (country, subregion and subregion2) which can be accessed using the 'level' argument. There is also more data available, such as hospitalisations data. The raw data comes as three seperate data sets, "epidemiology" which is comprised of cases, tests and deaths, "index", which holds information about countries linking the other data sets, and "hospitalizations" which holds data about number of people in hospital, ICU, etc.
