Major rewrite

• Moves io to two different data/models modules
• Creates a "config" module, can read a config from a path, or set it to an env var to read later
• Creates generic plotting/metric modules to be filled in with different plots/metrics
• Makes a "client" module (currently empty) to handle cli based pipelining.
• Removed extra leftovers form showyourwork, not needed for a dev project.

@beckynevin is the posterior the only object we'll do any diagnostics on? If we wanted to expand to include the likelihood (e.g., SNLE) in a beta version, do you know if that would require significant structural changes?

[beckynevin]

What would using the likelihood require? Would it require running the MCMC chain to get to the posterior? Or are you talking about evaluating the likelihood itself? Both would require significant structural changes; the former would require the package to handle MCMCing while the later I think would require redesigning the metrics.

[bnord]

I was thinking if people wanted to stop at the Likelihood and not go to the Posterior.

I don't think we've talked about metrics/diagnostics for that, but I wasn't sure if you had any schemes going in that direction.

I'm not advocating for adding more tools to get a posterior from the likelihood.
