type distribution vs parameter distribution format

[till-tietz]

@macartan

I just noticed that we export the transpose of posterior / prior distributions over causal types from get_type_prob_multiple (i.e. causal types ares rows and draws are columns) while the causal type posterior in stan_objects as well as distributions over parameters have the draws in rows.
Is there any particular reason for this? I didn't want to change anything to avoid introducing breaking changes in downstream functions.

Yes this has bothered me the natural shape would be as a data.frame with rows for draws I think there's an internal use where we use the transpose
