Noting which tests fail in feature/survival branch (mostly frailtymod)

[jburos]

Summary:

There are a dozen of failing tests in the feature/survival branch, specific to the test_stan_surv.R function. All appear to be related to the frailty model.

These are run against a WIP branch at https://github.com/jburos/rstanarm/tree/review-failing-tests, which is a fork of feature/survival branch in this repo that:

1. removes a few of the JM or mvmer-specific changes in the feature/survival branch, and
2. updates the syntax for tests to be consistent with current conventions.

Note: Some of these may be addressed by the sparse matrix fixes -- analogous to 22d6053 but for the survival model -- which I have in a separate branch. Reporting this here for the sake of transparency.
