This is a low-level function not intended to be called directly by
end users. For information on Metropolis-Hastings proposal methods,
ergm-proposals. This function sets up the table mapping
constraints, references, etc. to ergm_proposals. Calling it with
arguments adds a new row to this table. Calling it without
arguments returns the table so far.

The reference measure used in the model. For the list of
reference measures, see ergmReference
The constraints used in the model. For the list
of constraints, see ergmConstraint. They are
specified as a single string of text, with each contrast prefixed
by either & for constraints that the proposal always enforces
or | for constraints that the proposal can enforce if needed.
On existence of multiple qualifying proposals, specifies the
priority (-1,0,1, etc.) of proposals to be used.
The sampling weights on selecting toggles (random, TNT, etc).
The matching proposal from the previous arguments.
The package in which the proposal is implemented; it's normally autodetected based on the package to which the calling function belongs.
The first time a particular package calls
ergm_proposal_table(), it also sets a call-back to remove all
of its proposals from the table should the package be unloaded.
