integrate maximum likelihood point capabilities

Some samplers (e.g. PolyChord) have settings that allow you to find the maximum likelihood point at the end of a run. It would be nice to incorporate that piece of information somehow into anesthetic.
This initially came up in #313 (comment).
Things worth considering:
- Is there a way of turning this maximum likelihood point into a final nested samples point (with a non-zero weight)?
- Alternatively, would it be simples to add it as a zero weight point?
- Could it be added with
logL=max(logL)
andlogL_birth=max(logL)
? Would that correctly determine the weight to be zero or nan? - In how far would this need to be handled differently between
MCMCSamples
andNestedSamples
?
