This PR shows the beginnings of a (Truncated) Dirichlet Process Mixture API whose two main ingredients are the pm.StickBreakingWeights distribution, also known as the GEM distribution, and the pm.Mixture distribution.

The truncation of the infinite sum allows for easier implementation at the cost of numerical error which shouldn't be an issue for large K. However, computational cost can increase; some Goldilocks principle should be applied when choosing K.

More to come as I work on some utility functions and polish the distribution class.
