yeah we should add JuliaFormatter to this. It would be good to merge as many PRs as possible before because it will create conflicts all over

NB- the following workflow should only have a minimal amount of pain involved in each remaining open PR, assuming format(".") on master is committed as a single commit tagged format_commit:

1. git checkout feature_branch
2. git merge format_commit^ (no conflicts, or actual content conflicts that must be resolved should be handled here)
3. julia -e "using JuliaFormatter; format("."); git commit -am "PR format"
4. git merge format_commit; git checkout --ours .; git commit -a (we know the only diff is the formatting, so it's safe to blanket-accept the local branch side)
5. git merge master (should apply cleanly now)

Of course, PRs that would be straightforward to merge should probably be merged first. Here's a (not necessarily 100% correct nor complete) list of the ones that seem like they mostly need a "click merge":

• Update aliastable.jl #1074
• PR: Visualizations of distributions in documentation #1115
• Update laplace.jl #1131
• Add gradlogpdf to Uniform #1133
• return -Inf from logdiffcdf if x == y #1180
• Update skewnormal.jl #1212
• Von mises range fix #1280
• fix some bugs related to the Chernoff distribution. #1283
• Add minimum, maximum, extrema for AbstractMvNormal and Product #1319
• Implement std(::MultivariateDistribution) #1352
