Add PC specs for benchmarking analyses + additional comparison with empirical data #6

What has been added?

New text in the README.md file:
- Under "Comparing timetree inference with McmcDate VS MCMCtree", PC specs have now been included
- New section "Additional benchmarking analyses with empirical data" to compare the divergence times estimated with MCMCtree and McmcDate when using the empirical dataset assembled by Harris et al. 2022.
New directory figs with file MCMCdateVSMCMCtree_Harrisetal22.jpg, Figure 3 in the README.md file.

Feel free to modify the text if need be! :)

Thanks!

It's great to see that the times match for empirical datasets!
