1/4 discard to burn-in #21

I notice that we have hard-coded to discard 1/4 of the runs to burn-in. I would prefer this to be a parameter that users can control. Personally, I like to have the entire MCMC run, check it post inference, then decide how much to burn - so I would like the option to not discard any. Others may wish to do something similar. I can easily put in a parameter that keeps 1-p of the run, where p is the proportion to burn. I can also make the default 0.25 so that it default runs like it currently is doing.

Are you happy with this being included as a parameter? If so, I will make the change and push to git. We can update the package whilst we do the other updates (doMCMC output description etc)
