Defines functions refit.model

Documented in refit.model

#' Given a fitted lavaan model and a search table, refits the model using the search
#' table as specifying what changes should be done (parameters fixed/freed).
#'
#' This is not meant to be called explicitly as \link{tabu.sem} uses this
#' internally for model refitting.
#'
#' @param fitted.model fitted model of class lavaan
#' @param ptab search table
#'
#' @return An object of class \code{lavaan} if the new model fits, or an object of class \code{try-error} if the model update fails.
