Regroup probability distributions defined across Epiverse-TRACE packages

[Bisaloo]

At the moment, probability distributions absent from base R are defined across many different Epiverse-TRACE packages. At some point, it could make sense to regroup these probability distributions in a separate package.

Ideally, it could be one of the several packages that already exist for this purpose (e.g. extraDistr) but it could otherwise also be an alternative Epiverse-TRACE package depending on our constraints.

We should probably not rush to do this as creating a very complex scaffolding this early in the project could generate a severe overhead that stumps our development but I'm opening this issue to keep it on our radar.
