Screen output of MCMC sampling #73

In the end of an mcmc run, the likelihood for single- and multi-rate ptp is printed on the screen. For example:

Best score for single coalescent rate: 639.532580 Best score for multi coalescent rate: 746.482850

This can be confusing since it is not clear that the two scores are computed on the same delimitation. It may be misinterpreted as the ML for ptp and mptp correspondingly.

It would be better to print only the ML of either the multi rate (if the --multi option was used) or the single rate (if the --single option was used). Additionally, it would probably be better to rename it to "Maximum Likelihood" instead of "Best score".
