Updates for the Second Edition

A number of changes have been made to this example for the (forthcoming) Second
Edition of Reproducible Research with R and RStudio. Most importantly the file
structure has been changed to take full advantage of relative file paths.

To do this the project now has the following file tree:

Presentation documents
|_
   Analysis
   |_
      Data

For the version of this example from the First Edition see
here.
