Vegetation should be treated as factor in models #5

Currently, vegetation gets scaled along with all of the other raster covariates in this line. However, we should probably pull them out separately and make them a factor (or just make them a factor AFTER scaling? I guess that wouldn't cause any issues, and would be easier?)

This remains true, BUT the moveHMM does not allow for any character covariates, only numeric. We might get around this by using 'area of X within X meters' as a covariate instead of the vegetation type at the point.
