Explain how distances are calculated in gllvm() #231

Description

@wlangera

Currently, it is not mentioned how distances are calculated from coordinates provided in dist or distLV.
This could be explained in the Details section of gllvm() I suppose.

The distances are apparently calculated in an Euclidean way, so it is imporant to know as a user that the use of longitude and latitude (in contrast to projected coordinates) might lead to wrong distances.
Especially if the study area is large.
