R: warn user about writing ageEnsemble data in paleoData

[nickmckay]

writeLipd() should warn people about writing ageEnsembles that have been mapped into paleoData. This is a common procedure in GeoChronR, and thus will come up, however it can greatly increase the size of the LiPD file, and is easily and quickly replicated upon loading with geoChronR::mapAgeEnsembleToPaleoData() .

Perhaps a warning, and then a yes/no about deleting the ageEnsemble from the paleoData?

@nickmckay Should this be a "yes" or "no" parameter to writeLipd or just prompt the user on a file-by-file basis? I'm sure it'll get annoying to answer a lot of prompts if you write a bunch of files at once, but I'm also not sure that there will be a ton of files with ensemble data in Paleo, in which case file-by-file prompts may not be so bad.

Thoughts?

Hmm, How about the default is case by case, but there's an "ignore.warnings" option that's set to FALSE by default in writeLipd()?

And if ignore.warnings were set to TRUE, then don't bother to check for ensemble data in paleo? Or remove the ensemble data from paleo and just don't write about it?

[nickmckay]

Write it without a warning.
