v0.17.0

Major Breaking Change update!

AstroPhot is now part of the caskade ecosystem meaning its parameters/models have an incredible amount of flexibility! This also means breaking compatability with previous versions of AstroPhot. YOu should find everything to be very familiar, but many aspects are just a bit different. I suggest you read through the tutorials again to see where things are different, and also check out the caskade tutorials.

You can also now use AstroPhot with JAX!
