plt_kde_1d,2d: pass boundaries as limits dict

This will make the 1d,2d interface easier to use and more similar to the matrix plotting function.

Hi Yannik, I am Sebastian from TU Dresden and wanted to start contributing to the pyABC project. May I take this as a first issue to solve?

[yannikschaelte]

That would be appreciated! Regarding this issue, I suggest adding to plot_kde_{1/2}d_{highlevel/} an additional argument limits, which is then evaluated in plot_kde_{1/2}d. For legacy reasons, I would keep the old xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax, and to throw an error of both limits is not None and any(val is not None for val in [xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax])? And if limit is defined, then extract xmin etc. from limits internally?

Same would also make sense for the histogram routines https://github.com/ICB-DCM/pyABC/blob/main/pyabc/visualization/histogram.py

Great! I will start working on it and will let you know about anything that may come up.
