Rename BMMG to BMC3 #70

I’ve discovered that the first time this algorithm was described was probably in 1995 and they referred to it as MCMC Model Composition (MC3). The original paper allowed the different "models" to be general (not necessarily defined by a vector of binary values) so I think Binary MC3 makes sense as a name. I've updated the name and documentation.

Sounds reasonable. As discussed offline, rebase onto master and deprecate the old function names and exports.
