Reshape the processed data file from Ward et al. 2014

Source: R/process-ward-data.R

The master data file from Ward et al. 2014 has 8 datasets combined together in long form. We do some preprocessing here to correct dates, shift all variable names to lowercase characters, and construct a separate data object for each dataset. The format follows that of MATSS (browse the data formats vignette) The resulting object has the names of the datasets and the data objects.
