(Re-)set the bins for a FlowHist object

1	setBins(fh, bins = 256)

`fh`	a `FlowHist` object
`bins`	integer, the number of bins to use in aggregating FCS data

This function sets (or resets) the number of bins to use in aggregating FCS data into a histogram, and generates the corresponding data matrix. Not exported for general use.

The histData matrix also contains the columns corresponding to the raw data used in calculating the single-cut and multiple-cut debris components, as well as the doublet, triplet, and quadruplet aggregate values. (i.e., SCvals, MCvals, DBvals, TRvals, and QDvals).

setBins includes a call to resetFlowHist, so all the model components that depend on the bins are updated in the process (as you want!).

a FlowHist object, with the bins slot set to bins, and the corresonding binned data stored in a matrix in the histData slot. Any previous analysis slots are removed: peaks, comps, model, init, nls, counts, CV, RCS.

## defaults to 256 bins:
library(flowPloidyData) 
fh1 <- FlowHist(file = flowPloidyFiles()[1], channel = "FL3.INT.LIN")
plot(fh1)
## reset them to 512 bins:
fh1 <- setBins(fh1, 512)
plot(fh1)
