Docs proofread

[nspope]

Some suggested changes to the docs wrt the variational gamma method.

[nspope]

Only change to code is to import tsdate.priors.parameter_grid as tsdate.build_parameter_grid to expose an analogue for tsdate.build_prior_grid

One comment: the phrase "loopy belief propagation" as used here

tsdate/docs/methods.md

Line 74 in 183363a

suffers from the theoretical problem of "loopy belief propagation". Occasionally

doesn't make much sense to me-- I've always seen LBP used to refer to a method (apply belief propagation repeatedly to graphs with loops) rather than as a "theoretical problem", per se. So my vote is to remove references to LBP from methods.md (I don't think they will be meaningful to most readers, anyway).

I'm having issues building the docs locally, so haven't yet checked to see if the links all work.

Ah, good point about the terminology. I will try to reword. I think we should make the point that the previous methods (without iterative convergence) were not exact, however.

I'll merge this and fix any refs plus address the LBP stuff in a follow-up PR
