seminr specify_model() function

Combines model components together into a single specified_model object for estimation functions

specify_model(
  measurement_model,
  structural_model = NULL,
  item_associations = NULL
)

`measurement_model`	An optional `measurement_model` object representing the outer/measurement model, as generated by `constructs`.
`structural_model`	An optional `smMatrix` object representing the inner/structural model, as generated by `relationships`.
`item_associations`	An item-to-item matrix representing error covariances that are freed for estimation. This matrix is created by `associations()`, or defaults to NULL (no inter-item associations).

A list containing a SEMinR measurement model, structural model, and item associations.
