Add support for censored hierarchical models

[erysimumcap]

Summary:

Measurements of chemical concentration are censored due to limits of detection. Hierarchical modeling allows the incorporation of spatial and temporal linkages in sampling along with analysis of detection limits. Although there are many resources for building models, having a pre-compiled model for censored distributions that could be fitted with random effects would be very handy. It may be straightforward to add this functionality to stan.glmer (glmer.censored).
