bug fixes

• bug fix in multiChar2fac() for cases with existing value labels (with values labeled greater than zero)
• composeVar() now correctly prioritizes if both variables have missing values
• changeMissings() now does no longer add arbitrary value labels for newly tagged values
• bug fix in checkUniqueness2() for cases with differing numbers of cases per imputed data set
• bug fix in changeValLabels() for a mixture of already existing and new values
• bug fixes in import_spss() when setting labeledStirngs = "transform"
• bug fix in import_spss() for variables with missing tags but no value labels (these missing tags were dropped before)
