project_LC adds additional years to a period life table using a Lee-Carter model with a log-multiplicative scaling factor

1	project_LC(qx, lc, factor, n_years)

`qx`	A life Table with ages as rows and years as columns. Must have row and column names with the age/year numbers.
`lc`	Lee-Carter fit (use e.g. the LifeMetrics function to fit). Must have a `beta2` and `kappa2` component accessible by `$`.
`factor`	A factor that is multiplied with the inferred slope of the Kappas to project the mortality rates.
`n_years`	The number of years to be projected ahead.

This function takes a life table in period form (age/years) and the result of a Lee-Carter model and uses linear regression to get the slope of the Kappa (time) parameter. The slope is multiplied by a constant factor and applied as a factor (together with Beta) to the mortality of the last year in the period life table.
