New features

• New function avuncularPed() for creating aunt/uncle - nephew/niece pedigrees.

• New function addAllele() for extending the allele set of a marker.

• addSon() and addDaughter() are now more flexible. The previous argument parent has been renamed to parents and accepts one or two parents in any order.

• mergePed() has been overhauled. In particular the new argument by makes it much more user friendly.

• setAfreq() gains argument strict.

Other

• Minor improvements of README and vignette.

• Fixed bug in setGenotype() when setting multiple markers.
