logbin 2.0.5.9000

Removed unused contr.isototonic.rev function. Also no longer exporting interpret.logbin.smooth.
Suppress startup messages when turboEM::turboem is called for the first time.
Replace vcov calculation in summary.logbin to replicate the version in summary.glm.
Implement tests using testthat.
Clarify the copyright status of functions based on base R.

Fixed reparameterisation for factor variables in method = "cem" (@jakobschoepe, #3)
Implemented a more efficient approach to parameter expansion (using the transformation matrix).
When using the parameter expansion approach, check convergence of the reduced parameter vector. As an indirect result, the conv.test function is no longer exported.
Fixed error in logbin if offset provided
Implement coeftrace via turboEM::turboem argument keep.paramval, to avoid taking a different path when it is turned on (#5)

Added coeftrace argument to logbin.control, such that coefficient history can be obtained for method = "em" and method = "cem".

Changed logbin.ab so that outer.iterations can be set by control$maxit in the call to logbin, and maxit (inner iterations) is set by control.method$maxit.
logbin now returns contrasts, qr, R and effects components, so associated glm S3 methods (e.g. influence, plot) will work.
weights component returned is the IRLS working weights at the last iteration, for consistency with glm (even though these are not actually used except with method = "glm").
plot.logbin.smooth with type = "diagnostics" will plot the model diagnostics usually produced by plot.lm.
plot.logbin.smooth will allow extra parameters (e.g. col, ylim) to be passed.

(Had to increment version number to satisfy CRAN check after correcting an error)

method option added: fit using glm, glm2, adaptive barrier, CEM or single EM algorithm with overparameterised model
accelerate option added: use turboEM methods to speed up convergence
(Minor change) Corrected the definition of boundary
