New distributions with `CustomDist`

Notebook proposal

Title: New distributions with CustomDist

Why should this notebook be added to pymc-examples?

Provide example(s) of the flexibility that PyMC provides with the CustomDist and auto-probability. Touch on when logp or logcdf might be required when defining a distribution and when they could be automatic

Suggested categories:

• Level: Beginner
• Diataxis type:

On another note, the reference notebook is pymc3 and theano so maybe it needs an update as well
