Csv serializer

Pull Request

Brief description of the original problem and the approach behind your solution: different forums suggest to write to a temp file and then use readLines to serialize csv. My approach uses readr:: to do that in a more efficient way and serialize without problem.

Here'a a MWE that returns CSV output with correct type:

test-csv-serializer.R

api <- plumber::plumb("return-mtcars.R")
api$run(port = 8080, host = "0.0.0.0")

return-mtcars.R

#' test mtcars
#' @serializer csv
#' @get /
function(res){
  mtcars
}

@schloerke hi, any updates on this?

[pachadotdev]

@schloerke thanks for the lower/uppercase change
I see it's passing ubuntu tests on gh-actions

Notes for me for later: This follows pattern with serializer-htmlwidget.R

This was my fault. Sorry about that.
