char2fac function

<dl><dt>x</dt>
<dd>Data frame to modify.</dd>
<dt>sortlevels</dt>
<dd>Choose whether to sort levels. This is the default R behavior and is therefore likely faster, but it may change the order of the data and this can be problematic so the default is FALSE.</dd>
<dt>na_level</dt>
<dd>some functions don't like factors to have NAs so we replace NAs with this value for factors only. Set NULL to skip.</dd></dl>
