fastglm: Fast and Stable Fitting of Generalized Linear Models using 'RcppEigen'

Fits generalized linear models efficiently using 'RcppEigen'. The iteratively reweighted least squares implementation utilizes the step-halving approach of Marschner (2011) <doi:10.32614/RJ-2011-012> to help safeguard against convergence issues.
