This PR adds an
initial_valueargument to theGaussianStateSpacedistribution as suggested in #2098.As part of this change, I added an
optionalconstraint. I'm a bit torn on whether that's the right choice, and we could instead promote 0 to the right shape. However, that would make evaluating themeanof the distribution relatively inefficient when there is no initial value: We'd stillscanover the sequence even though we should really just return zeros (although maybejax.jitamortizes that?). Open to suggestions.
