Fix docs abundance

From forestgeo/forum#19 (comment):
"count woods" sounds weird. Maybe say "count individuals"?
I think vft2[2,3] should be 1.2, isn't it ?
would be good to show how to count abundance of stems and not only individual trees (e.i. a multi-stem tree with 2 stems counts for 2)
RE: forestgeo/forum#19 (comment):

I changed it to stems.
I think vft2[2,3] should be 1.2, isn't it?
It's confusing, I know. But no, the value 1.1
is correct. It intends to demonstrate the following:
...your data may have multiple stems per treeid and even multiple measures per stemid (when trees have buttressess).
vft2 <- tribble(
~CensusID, ~TreeID, ~StemID, ~DBH, ~HOM,
1, "1", "1.1", 88, 130,
1, "1", "1.1", 10, 160,
)

Thanks! I added the following example:
suppressPackageStartupMessages(library(fgeo))
# One stem per tree
abundance(
tribble(
~TreeID, ~StemID, ~DBH,
"1", "1.1", 11,
"2", "2.1", 21
)
)
#> # A tibble: 1 x 1
#> n
#> <int>
#> 1 2
# One tree with multiple stems
abundance(
tribble(
~TreeID, ~StemID, ~DBH,
"1", "1.1", 11,
"1", "1.2", 12
)
)
#> Warning: `treeid`: Duplicated values were detected. Do you need to pick
#> main stems?
#> # A tibble: 1 x 1
#> n
#> <int>
#> 1 2
# Similar but more realistic
stem <- fgeo.x::download_data("luquillo_stem5_random")
abundance(stem)
#> Warning: `treeid`: Duplicated values were detected. Do you need to pick

#> # A tibble: 1 x 1

#> <int>
#> 1 1320
abundance(
pick_main_stem(stem)
)
#> # A tibble: 1 x 1
#> n
#> <int>
#> 1 1000
