Proposed changes

This PR adds an explicit treatment input argument to CausalTreeRegressor.fit() and CausalRandomForestRegressor.fit().

Originally, it used sample_weight for treatment assignments to use the sklearn.tree APIs without modification, but, with #686, we don't use sklearn.tree anymore, and we're free to modify inputs to CausalTreeRegressor and CausalRandomForestRegressor.

All tests and notebook examples for causal tree/forest ran successfully without errors.

only general comment is to perhaps consider a "major version" bump to 0.16 once this is merged given that the API has changed and treatment is now a required arg
