Suggest not mentioning specific algorithms here, broaden instead to simulating and comparing Markov chain algorithms, mention that we have these ones pre-coded but users can add others bla bla bla

Same comment here, better not to focus so much on any specific algorithm

Resolves #131
Broadens scope of package description in DESCRIPTION file and also shortens this to cover only key high level details.
The more detailed package description in README is also broadened to concentrate less on Barker proposal specifically and highlight modular design of package.
