ParticleDistributions should have a temporal distribution? #12

Right now it's hard coded to assume all sampled particles are born at t = 0. This is probably appropriate for most scenarios but doesn't feel like a satisfactory solution. This could be addressed with a delta function (similar to how mono-energetic distributions are being handled).

If time distributions are added, we need to be careful about how this would interact with any future temporal functionality. If a particle is born into a time that doesn't correspond to the "time" of the plasma state currently being simulated, we'd have to be able to address that.
