categories as factors

normalize_cansim_values now has an optional parameter factors=FALSE, if set to TRUE the categories will all be returned as factors. It might make sense to set the default option to TRUE, but that might lead to breaking changes in some cases.

Going with default=FALSE, setting it to TRUE will break our "Working with Hierarchies" vignette. When subsetting a factor variable without casting to defaults to integer (factor level), instead of character if not explicitly cast to handled as factor. Thinking this will break other people's code too.
