#' Trim matrix
#'
#' Removes \code{n} rows and columns with \code{NA} values on all sides of a \code{matrix}.
#'
#' @param m A \code{matrix}
#' @param n By how many rows/columns to trim the matrix on each side?
#'
#' @return A trimmed \code{matrix}, or \code{NULL} if trimming results in an "empty" matrix.
