Add function for output type conversion #11

It may be nice to have a utility function to convert between output types such as quantiles and samples when possible.

Two links to related resources:

https://docs.zoltardata.com/forecastqueryformat/ describes (very briefly) some related functionality in Zoltar
https://github.com/reichlab/distfromq is an R package that may be helpful for conversions where the starting point is a quantile forecast

This comment relates to this issue as well as #8, #25, and #26. What's our planned API for this functionality for output type conversion? I propose that there be a single exported high-level function, corresponding to this issue, that handles data type conversion generally. As necessary it can delegate to/call other data type conversion functions as in those other issues.

This is on @eahowerton 's to-do list, but is available for someone to pick up if they are looking to finish off a PR.
