#' Resample only linear errors for truncated normal errors
#'
#' @description The truncated multivariate normal errors can be generated
#' in one of two ways. Either we sample the first stage and probit errors
#' first and then resample the linear regression's errors until we have
#' positive values, or we resample the vector of all three errors until
#' the linear value is positive. This is the first method, use cragg_errors2
#' for the second, which is more intuitive.
#'
#' @param cov the covariance matrix. This should be untransformed, the
#' terms will be multiplied by the coefficients within the resampling
#' procedure.
#' @param x1 your exogenous variables (a dataframe)
#' @param z your instrument (a dataframe)
#' @param pi a vector of coefficients for the first stage regression
#' @param gamma a vector of coefficients for the second stage probit
#' @param beta a vector of coefficients for the second stage linear regression
#' @param n the number of errors to be generated
#'
#' @return returns a list of your errors and the three generated variables:
#' the endogenous regressor, the censoring variable and the outcome variable
#'
