Message:

Merge pull request #59 from SasView?/boltzmann

add BoltzmannDistribution? and UniformDistribution?

Since Paul K approved the code and the only issue found by R. Heenan and P. Butler has been resolved by sasview PR 141 we should be able to merge this now.

+Uniform Distribution
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The Uniform Distribution is defined as
+
+    .. math::
+
+        f(x) = \frac{1}{\text{Norm}}
+        \begin{cases}
+          1 & \text{for } |x - \bar x| \leq \sigma \\
+          0 & \text{for } |x - \bar x| > \sigma
+        \end{cases}

+    *Norm* is a normalization factor which is determined during the numerical
+    calculation.

+
+    f(x) = \frac{1}{\text{Norm}}
+           \exp\left(-\frac{ | x - \bar x | }{\sigma}\right)
