In skranz/BLPestimatoR: Performs a BLP Demand Estimation

This is a fork of the CRAN package BLPEstimatoR by Daniel Brunner (aut), Constantin Weiser (ctr), Andre Romahn (ctr)

I just made a series of small changes to add some convinience features to the package:

1. Add function BLP.factor.to.dummies and call it in estimateBLP. It allows variables in Xlin, Xrandom or instruments to be factors (or characters) and automatically converts them to dummies, as for example is done in R's lm function.

2. Add argument prodid to estimateBLP to allow automatic naming of elasticities matrices. Adapt get.Elasticities correspondingly

3. Add the function elasticitiesBLP for convenient extraction of elasticities.
