make.age.groups: make an age.groups object
In dfeehan/dhstools: Tools for analyzing Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS)

TODO – would be nice if this could take either widths or bins / breaks

1	make.age.groups(start, widths, names)

`start`	the first age
`widths`	the widths of the subsequent age groups
`names`	the names of the age groups

an object (list) with the widths, names, and number of age groups, as well as a matrix called template which has the start and end of each age interval. the intervals in template are close on the left but not the right; eg, exp.start of 10 and exp.end of 20 means [10, 20) in terms of exact ages (this is useful later on, for making individual age schedules based on, eg, birth dates)
