The opt_footnote_marks() function

Use a summarized version of the sza dataset to create a gt table, adding three footnotes (with three calls of tab_footnote()). We can modify the footnote marks to use with the opt_footnote_marks() function. With the keyword "standard" we get four commonly-used typographic marks.
