Expand pp checking about shinystan

Also, for a stanreg object, shinystan should just call posterior_predict rather than asking the user to select the name of the posterior predictions.

Yes, good call. I will put this in the next release. Thoughts on particular
pp checking plots for rstanarm models?

If I really wanted to put some time into it I could have
shinystan automatically adjust various settings and plots for the different
rstanarm models using the info in the stanreg object to classify the model.

I don't really know; start with just making it possible to do something
with a stanreg object because it is not going to have a drop-down entry
for y_rep. Rather than investing a lot of time customizing for stanreg
objects, it seems that you could do a fair amount of reasonable
customization just based on the class of the dependent variable.

Yeah, definitely. Recognizing the dependent variable type and selecting the
content accordingly is one of the things I've been wanting to do.

At a minimum, a stanreg object can store its y in a canonical form for
each type of model so it is easy to use if shinystan knows those forms.
