Adds additional data for single cells to the Seurat object. Can be any piece
of information associated with a cell (examples include read depth,
alignment rate, experimental batch, or subpopulation identity). The
advantage of adding it to the Seurat object is so that it can be
analyzed/visualized using fetch.data, vlnPlot, genePlot, subsetData, etc.
