Plot Method for smoothing_fitsae Object

Description

The plot() method provides (a) the boxplot of variance estimates, when effective sample sizes are estimated through kish method; (b) a scatterplot of both original and smoothed estimates versus the area sample sizes, when variance smoothing is performed through methods ols and gls.
