This PR adds a Gaussian state space model distribution which generalizes a Gaussian random walk. The state vector $\mathbf z$ evolves as $\mathbf{z}_t = \mathbf{A}\mathbf{z}_{t-1} +\boldsymbol\epsilon_t$, where $\mathbf A$ is a square transition matrix and $\boldsymbol\epsilon_t$ is innovation noise for step $t$. The distribution is implemented as a transformation of a multivariate normal distribution using a recursive linear transformation from #1766.

Fingers crossed, I'll be able to share how all the other PRs fit into the bigger picture soon. "Just" wrapping up the analysis...
