Defines functions plot_n_zones

Documented in plot_n_zones

## The function plots the number of dense zones for each threshold value.
## Input:
##    zones: a list of eight elements, as the output of the dense_zones
##    function.
##    chr: optional argument, needed if the input is found with chr = "all";
##    a string or a vector containing strings with the name of the chromosome(s)
##    (e.g., "chr1" or c("chr1", "chr4"))
## Output: a plot(or more) with the number of dense zones found.
