Within-code clarity on what e.g. `family` refers to #198

Here it's a challenge whether things are family as input or epidist_family as input (likewise formula or epidist_formula)

Within the code, I am sometimes confused whether something is say a family (brmsfamily object) or the result of a call to epidist_family.

Additionally, whether functions should take the family or epidist_family version e.g.

Should this instead be a brmsfamily object? Could still extract out the dpars

Came up here: https://github.com/epinowcast/epidist/pull/242#discussion_r1717141121. Sam suggests one option here is to put the formula (or family) into the epidist_ version.
