New Estimation Interface

Suggestions for a simplification of the estimation interface in Dynare and breaking very general commands with lots of options in several commands with more targeted scope.

estimated_params

rely on options names rather than argument position in the command line
- prior_shape [specification of the prior distribution]
- prior_mean
- prior_stdev
- prior_mode
- prior_interval(lower_bound,higher_bound,percentage)
- lower_location
- upper_location
- jscale (Metropolis proposal scaling for a single parameter, little used)
- init_val
- boundaries=(lb,ub)
this would replace estimated_params_bounds and estimated_params_init
