Choose bandwidth for density test based on McCrary's Criterion

1	bandwidth_mccrary(rv, cutoff, method = "mccrary", ...)

`rv`	running variable
`cutoff`	cutoff(s) for discontinuity
`method`	method for selecting bin width for first-step histogram smoother
`...`	ignored for now

The procedure as detailed in McCrary (2008) recommends using an automated process as a starting point and subsequently implementing a subjective rule, while reporting the difference from the automated process. For details, please see the paper.

For details on the first-step histogram smoother, see make_grid or bin.
