Defines functions get_mixed_accepts

#' @title A helper function that returns the thinned, 
#' accepted positions after a user-specified burn-in period; also returns 
#' the indices (step numbers) of each of the returned positions.
#' 
#' @description Use this method instead of ``prune`` if you want to get the 
#' mixed accepted steps without discarding all of the other ones.
