Add example using pymc

Was gonna open an issue about that as well.

Note that with this Theano change, adding pure-python (wrapped) prob distributions to pymc3 is now much easier: pymc-devs/pymc#507

Does distributions have most common (log) probability distributions in C++ (e.g. normal)? Couldn't find them by quickly skimming the code base.

[fritzo]

Distributions implements a few probability distributions as score_...(...)
and sample_...(...) in
https://github.com/forcedotcom/distributions/blob/master/include/distributions/random.hpp
But distributions is focused on collapsed Gibbs sampling of conjugate
distributions, and only a few score_ and sample_ functions are needed, e.g.
sample_normal(...) and score_student_t(...), but neither score_normal(...)
nor sample_student_t(...).
