proxyfuns

[cscherrer]

MeasureTheory.jl currently has functions like this:

StatsBase.entropy(m::AbstractMeasure, b::Real) = entropy(proxy(m), b)
Statistics.mean(m::AbstractMeasure) = mean(proxy(m))
Statistics.std(m::AbstractMeasure) = std(proxy(m))
Statistics.var(m::AbstractMeasure) = var(proxy(m))
Statistics.quantile(m::AbstractMeasure, q) = quantile(proxy(m), q)

But proxy is defined in MeasureBase, so this is type piracy. Better to move them here if possible.

I'd like to pull this into the other major changes I'm working on - the resulting version of MeasureBase will require Julia v1.10 (designated as the next LTS), so we can so this via an extension then.
