Gaussian Process implementation for efficient inference, along with
lower-level functions such as `cartesian` and `kronecker` products.
- Added `Coregion` covariance function.
- Add new 'pairplot' function, for plotting scatter or hexbin matrices of sampled parameters.
Optionally it can plot divergences.
- Add new 'pairplot' function, for plotting scatter or hexbin matrices of sampled parameters. Optionally it can plot divergences.
- Plots of discrete distributions in the docstrings
- Add logitnormal distribution
- New function `pm.sample_prior` which generates test data from a model in the absence of data.

### Fixes

- `VonMises` does not overflow for large values of kappa. i0 and i1 have been removed and we now use log_i0 to compute the logp.
- The bandwidth for KDE plots is computed using a modified version of Scott's rule. The new version uses entropy instead of standard
deviation. This works better for multimodal distributions. Functions using KDE plots has a new argument `bw` controlling the bandwidth.

=======
- Add `logit_p` keyword to `pm.Bernoulli`, so that users can specify the logit
of the success probability. This is faster and more stable than using
`p=tt.nnet.sigmoid(logit_p)`.
- Add `random` keyword to `pm.DensityDist` thus enabling users to pass custom random method
which in turn makes sampling from a `DensityDist` possible.

### Fixes

- `VonMises` does not overflow for large values of kappa. i0 and i1 have been removed and we now use
log_i0 to compute the logp.

### Deprecations

- DIC and BPIC calculations have been removed
