Add configerable average function

[multimeric]

Closes #22, see discussion there.

Uncertainties:

• Have I covered all public APIs, ensuring they can all be configured?
• The test statistic ends up being negative, and therefore with a p-value of 1 when used to compare a standard normal and t distribution in the test_different_distributions. Does this make sense, or is it revealing a flaw in the code somewhere?

* Have I covered all public APIs, ensuring they can all be configured?

I think so, although the documentation for the public function is missing (and in a future PR I should merge the public and _imp versions of the functions, as this was only done to achieve keyword only parameters for Python 2, which is no longer supported).

* The test statistic ends up being negative, and therefore with a p-value of 1 when used to compare a standard normal and t distribution in the `test_different_distributions`. Does this make sense, or is it revealing a flaw in the code somewhere?

You mean the statistic with the mean, median or both?

I mean with the median. Using the mean is one of your tests, which passes.

Ok, I have checked the implementation and it looks ok. The only explanation that I see is that the differences between the Gaussian and t-Student distributions are in the tails of the distribution, and the median is not taking this information into account. Maybe it will notice the difference with a higher number of samples, but it would be very costly. So I would add a test between two different enough distributions with the same mean, and call it a day, unless you have a better explanation.
