Thanks to the Stan team for updating StanHeaders which, as it turns out,
needed an update---and which got to CRAN last night.

With that out of the way, RcppEigen has been updated to 0.3.3.9.1 on CRAN.
The version is code-identical to the release candidate but has some polish on
the README, NEWS, and CI setup rounding out the package.

A similar update to BH is pending as we need the cooperation, and CRAN
update, of just over a handful of packages so this will have to wait for CRAN
to reopen in January.
