Endomorphically merge assays within a `LongTable` or inheriting class

Endomorphically merge assays within a LongTable or inheriting class

## S4 method for signature 'LongTable'
mergeAssays(object, x, y, target = x, ..., metadata = FALSE)

`object`	A `LongTable` or inheriting class.
`x`	`character(1)` A valid assay name in `object`.
`y`	`character(1)` A valid assay name in `object`.
`target`	`character(1)` Name of the assay to assign the result to. Can be a new or existing assay. Defaults to `x`.
`...`	Fallthrough arguments to merge.data.table to specify the join type. Use this to specify which columns to merge on. If excluded, defaults to by=assayKeys(objecty, y).
`metadata`	`logical` A logical vector indicating whether to attach metadata to either assay before the merge occurs. If only one value is passed that value is used for both assays. Defaults to `FALSE`.

A copy of object with assays x and y merged and assigned to target.
