Minor fixes for MCMC code and new tclout version option

12.6.0t Various improvements made to the chain (MCMC) command: Removed misleading multiple chain output from the chain stat command when only 1 chain is loaded. Clarification added to the 1-D plot margin label. If chains are loaded, tclout simpar may now be used without a valid fit and even if no spectra are loaded. Bug fix to the definition of the Rubin-Gelman convergence measure. Our thanks to Simon Vaughan for pointing these issues out. This patch also fixes a bug wherein a "Chain IO" error may appear due to the selection of row 0 when internally accessing random rows in chains. Report added on Oct 22, 2010.

12.6.0u This adds a new tclout version option, making it easier to access the XSPEC version string from inside of Tcl scripts. Our thanks to Stefano Bianchi for this suggestion. Report added on Oct 22, 2010.
