Update to evol.vcv to fit one-matrix model only

I just pushed an update to the phytools function evol.vcv for fitting multiple evolutionary covariance matrices of the Brownian process in different parts of a phylogeny. This update is really simple in that it also allows a single- matrix model to be fit if the tree does not contain a mapped character. It does this simply by first checking the object class, and if no mapped history is detected, defaults to the one-matrix method.

In addition, I also updated the S3 print method for objects of class "evol.vcv" so that it will correctly interact with the object in cases in which the multi-matrix model has not been fit.

Here's a demo:

library(phytools)
tree
## 
## Phylogenetic tree with 26 tips and 25 internal nodes.
## 
## Tip labels:
##  A, B, C, D, E, F, ...
## 
## Rooted; includes branch lengths.

fit<-evol.vcv(tree,X)
fit
## ML single-matrix model:
##  R[1,1]  R[1,2]  R[2,2]  k   log(L)
## fitted   0.9988  1.2926  2.1252  5   -50.3123    
## 
## R thinks it has found the ML solution.

The data for this demo were simulated as follows:

tree<-pbtree(n=26,tip.label=LETTERS)
vcv<-matrix(c(1,1.25,1.25,2),2,2)
X<-sim.corrs(tree,vcv)
