This pull request wraps all of the internal implementation for distributions using tf.contrib.distributions in edward.stats. This makes the internals more robust, faster, and support more distribution methods.

There's one confusing point: we still have rvs() in the distributions, which uses SciPy's standard arguments. All other methods such as logpmf()/logpdf() now use TensorFlow's standard (if the distribution exists; otherwise it defaults to SciPy's standard).

Also this includes minor miscellaneous fixes.

I'm not sure how long we'll keep around edward.stats. After the modeling language, this library may still be useful for use with the model wrappers.
