Implements fitting function for single-season and dynamic multi-state occupancy models #139

The new function is occuMS(). Open to changing the name as it does sound similar to occuMulti() unfortunately. It allows fitting both the conditional binomial and multinomial parameterizations (the latter of which allows an arbitrary number of occupancy states) and is based heavily on MacKenzie et al. (2009) in Ecology. I've written a description of the model along with detailed examples in the help file.

Thanks Ken, this is great. The names of the functions are fine with me, but you might consider occuMultistate and occuMultispecies instead, if you want to try to make them more distinct. Up to you.
