Reader function for single-channel tiffs

[nilseling]

As discussed with @ellispatrick it might be good to add a function that reads in single-channel tiffs into multi-channel CytoImageList objects. In general this is the format often used to store low-plex IF data or data prepared for histoCAT.

Hi @ellispatrick,

I have now added an option to read single-channel images into multi-channel CytoImageList objects in #72. Could you please test it by installing the devel version via:

library(remotes)
remotes::install_github("BodenmillerGroup/cytomapper", build_vignettes = TRUE, dependencies = TRUE)

You should be able to read in multiple sub-folders or files of a single folder via

CIL <- loadImages("path/to/folders", single_channel = TRUE)

Let me know how this goes.

Hey @nilseling,

I tested it out, and it seems to work as expected. Thanks for adding it!
