Description

Not a high priority, but it would be nice if rstan_options(iter = N) could be used to override the default of iter=2000. Same for chains.

Research direction

Start at the rstan_options entry point and trace how the default iter and chains values are selected for sampling. Verify the requested behavior by checking that rstan_options(iter = N) and rstan_options(chains = N) override the current defaults of iter = 2000 and the existing chains default.
