Basic rewrite of the package 2023 edition Part II: Location-Scale Families #50

This is a partial pull request of #45.
(The original PR is now severely outdated.)

The content of Part II is as follows:

  • Add the location-scale variational family
  • Add constructors for Gaussian variational families.
  • Optimize AD paths for the location-scale family. (Refer to the original PR for benchmarks.)

This is to avoid having to reconstruct transformed distributions all
the time. The direct use of bijectors also avoids going through lots
of abstraction layers that could break.

Instead, transformed distributions could be constructed only once when
returing the VI result.
- Full Monte Carlo ELBO estimation now works. I checked.

Sorry I messed up the git commit history. I'll reopen it after fixing this.
