Allow multiple sections to be closed programmatically

[mmmilo]

I'm looking to be able to close sections programmatically.

Use case: You have 3 sections, but only one should be open at a time. Let's say section 0 is already open. If you select section 2, section 0 should automatically be closed.

The issue:
didSelectTitleCell uses [self.tableView indexPathForSelectedRow];. When you are programmatically closing a section, the index path will be nil.

Solving the issue:
Added an extra function and variable that lets you specify which section is the one being animated.

Example usage:
In your "controlling" viewController:

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
  GCRetractableSectionController* sectionController = [self.retractableControllers objectAtIndex:indexPath.section];
  [sectionController didSelectCellAtRow:indexPath.row];

  // close the previous open section
  if (indexPath.section != activeSection) {
    GCRetractableSectionController* sectionController = [self.retractableControllers objectAtIndex:activeSection];
    if (sectionController.isOpen) {
      [sectionController didSelectCellAtRow:0 inSection:activeSection];
    }
    activeSection = indexPath.section;
  }

}

Valid concern, I'm not sure this is the best way to do it however. Hmm... Basically I don't like the idea of an other variable just for that.
