Methods which found the maximum likelihood model were previously called optimize, which this PR renames to MLE (maximum likelihood estimator).

This PR improves the MLE methods with functionality including:

  • Ability to set start point for the MLE search using existing Initializer API.
  • Outputs the start point model visualization.

The BFGS and LBFGS MLE searches have been improved in this PR, including visualization.

The main use case is fits where a good starting point is known and simple gradient descent can find the maximum likelihood solution.

The intent is to use this for strong lens sensitivity mapping.

The bulk of functionality is included in the following autofit PR:
