Improve default MC sample size

[teubert]

Updated MC sample size for UWSamples state to default to just use the UWSamples directly. This is a nice quality of life and efficiency improvement. MC uses UWSamples to represent state, this way it doesn't resample from samples unnecessarily.

Also added corresponding tests. Finally moved documentation of keyword arguments to the predict method, where it's actually used.

• [ ] Ensure that each PR adding a new feature should include a test verifying that feature.
• [ ] All errors from static analysis must be resolved.
• [ ] Review the test coverage reports (if there is a change) - will be added as comment on PR if there is a change
• [ ] Review the software benchmarking results (if there is a change) - will be added as comment on PR
• [ ] Any added dependencies are included in requirements.txt, setup.py, and dev_guide.rst (this document)
• [ ] All warnings from static analysis must be reviewed and resolved - if deemed appropriate.
