Add examples of converting base R 3-D array and mcmc/mcmc.list objects

As it took me a moment to figure out how to convert R 3-D array to draws so that variables are named (as the approach used for matrix doesn't work) it is probably helpful for others to see the example, too.

I didn't even know that mcmc/mcmc.list object conversion is supported, and it would be useful to mention it at least once somewhere, so that it is possible to point others to tha information.

This is how benchmark results would change (along with a 95% confidence interval in relative change) if 1245251f74747941ff4a3b95e19d7cb09e8bcd5f is merged into master:

We do not require coda and rjags in posterior so I assume we will fail some checks by adding these packages to the readme. Did you run the usual CMD checks with this already? if not, I will do it when working on the new posterior release in the next few days.

[paul-buerkner]

I think you edited the readme.md file directly, but all changes should only go to the readme.Rmd file which will then be used to render the corresponding .md file. Anyway, I have made the necessary changes and will merge now. Thank you for this addition!
