Added a TMB ordinal implementation with species common cut-offs. This relaxes the requirement of one observation per category per species, to at least one observation per category. The default is species-specific cut-offs, but if there are missing classes per species, an error will be thrown with the recommendation to switch zeta.struc or reclassify the data per species.
additionally found a bug when specifying a starting model with row-effects
some other minor bug fixes and small edits in the documentation
addressed merge conflicts from previous pull request
