calculate information theory limit on RV precision #77

wobble should be able to use the inferred stellar template and either the user-input flux uncertainties or the RMS scatter of the residuals to calculate the information-theory limit on RV precision (also known by some as the Bouchy limit). This would be a cool extension! Something like results.rv_limit() maybe?
