beta-binomial for overdispersion #27

Description

@mebrooks

Eventually it would be nice to add the beta-binomial distribution to handle overdispersion. For now, the only way to handle it is with an observation level random effect.

Use the robust method dbetabinom_robust recently written for glmmTMB by kaskr.

See section 4.1 of Tom Mitchell Elliott's master thesis for an attempted implementation of this in a Bayesian context (it had convergence difficulties). Or see Kitakado et al (2002) for a publication suggesting that we might need this.
