Description

The code in Fisher::p_value_exact(void) is obscure and hard to read. How is the value of k picked?

Fiurthermore, as discussed in #461, there are a few different ways to calculate it, and it seems we/I picked the wrong one back then because alternative 3 seems to be the most popular method (http://www.biostathandbook.com/fishers.html).

I think it's OK to just change implementation with a note in NEWS, or should it be an option to use this implementation?
