Make designmatrix work with autoDM plugin

[stevertaylor]

Tempopulsar does not currently work with IPTA DR2 datasets since the .par files include DMMODEL information from the autoDM plugin in tempo2. The designmatrix function throws an error because, although each _DM and DMOFF line is recognized as fitting information, only the initial DMMODEL line is marked with a fit flag set to 1. This creates a conflict: Number of fitinfo parameters (...) does not match fit parameters (...).

A few example lines in a .par file are:

DMMODEL DM 1
DMOFF	 48500 -0.00120890526660372 0.000593318894762492
DMOFF	 52000 0.000634724170973158 0.000113134549521443

I think I can fix it, but before I try to reverse engineer autoDM, can you give me as much context as you know? Which are the actual fit parameters that get a column of the design matrix?
