TMB 1.6.0

• Major changeset to get closer to CRAN submission - Added 'dontrun' to most examples. Reason: All useful TMB examples take too long time to run because they require compilation. - Removed TMB-internals. - Added Roxygen for remaining functions: dynlib() runSymbolicAnalysis() config() plot.parallelBenchmark() summary.sdreport() print.sdreport() print.backtrace() plot.tmbprofile() confint.tmbprofile() - Got rid of global configuration, e.g flagsDefaults(), newtonDefaults() etc. - Reworked newtonOption() and adapted all examples to new syntax. (NOTE: not entirely backwards compatible since to old version modified global settings, which we do not allow anymore). - Fixed several typos, e.g. c++ -> C++ - CITATION: Added arxiv reference. - DESCRIPTION: Changed title and added URL. - NAMESPACE: Cleanup
• CppAD jacobian: prefer reverse mode over forward mode if work is equal - TMB only requires 1st order reverse (not forward) mode to be implemented for atomic functions. This can result in the error 'order not implemented' if CppAD automatically selects forward over reverse mode. - In cases where the work of forward and reverse mode are equal it is therefore more natural (from TMB perspective) to select reverse mode.
