Add posterior smoothing and posterior background to inform and estimate stages #51

Feature request

It is possible to improve the probability integral transform distribution shape and the negative log liklihood by fitting a Gaussian smoothing width and background flat probability to the posteriors. This could be fit in the inform stage and applied to the estimate stage.

This is a general feature that could be applied to all codes but is particularly useful in template fitting where it is not implicitly performed.
