Calculate a posterior value of theta

Calculate a posterior value of theta.

calc_posterior(x, item_parm, resp, ncat, model, prior, prior_parm)

`x`	A length-one numeric vector for a theta value.
`item_parm`	A numeric matrix of item parameters.
`resp`	a numeric vector containing item responses.
`ncat`	A numeric vector of the number of response categories by item.
`model`	A numeric vector indicating the IRT models of each item (1: 1PL, 2: 2PL, 3: 3PL, 4: PC, 5: GPC, 6: GR).
`prior`	The type of prior distribution (1: normal, 2: uniform).
`prior_parm`	A numeric vector of hyperparameters for the prior distribution, c(mu, sigma) or c(ll, ul).
