Off-by-1 bug in total_home_score and total_away_score

[alecglen]

The field definitions for total_home_score and total_away_score state that they should contain the scores as of the beginning of the play.

Instead, comparison to the fields posteam_score and defteam_score shows that they actually contain the scores as of the end of the play. (Please pardon the lack of of reprex, I'm not an R user.)

Looks like a documentation bug inherited from nflscrapR. These variables are supposed to be post play as far as I can remember.
