This PR adds the following enhancements:

Add a ParamGrid class for calculating confidence intervals
Add a ConfidenceInterval class whose instances contain information about a confidence interval, like the upper and lower bounds, the best-fit value, and the error bars.

Also, this PR modifies the public API as follows:

Rename class Grid to GridExecutor
Rename class GridResult to Grid
Rename class BestFitResult to BestFit
The Grid class (previously GridResult) attribute fixed_params becomes a dictionary whose keys are the names of the parameters kept fixed during the grid calculation.
