check_fitness_evaluator: General fitness_evaluator checker
In philliplab/yasss: Yet Another Short Sequence Simulator

Performs basic sanity checks on a fitness_evaluator and its candidate argument set.

1	check_fitness_evaluator(the_seq, fun, args)

`fun`	The fitness_evaluator function
`args`	A single list of arguments for the fitness_evaluator that are reasonable. This will be used to call the evaluator on dummy data during the checks.

Since fitness_evaluators are custom functions that are only used in deeply nested code and called with mechanisms like do.call, it makes debugging them really hard. This function performs a number of checks to ensure that the basic errors are flagged before the main loop is initiated. This function is also used extensively in the testing of the fitness_evaluators.
