Support optimize

Support the optimize method in addition to the sample method on a compiled model. The API is not too different, this should be relatively easy.

I don't think PyStan is being actively developed any more now that @riddell-stan moved to industry. We should still be able to merge patches and accept PRs, but I don't think anyone on the Stan development team is working on it at the moment.

If you don't need anything specific to PyStan, I'd strongly recommend converting to CmdStanPy, which is being actively developed and maintained.

OK, cmdstanpy seems like a reasonable replacement
