[Fix] Remove mutables as default argument and fix smaller issues

[fjosw]

In this PR I remove all mutables from default arguments (see for example this article).

I also corrected smaller stilistic issues and added missing docstrings.

Hi! Thanks a lot for these changes - I was not aware of the issue...
We would have to modify the call to covariance in the fit function. I think that we intended to have the possibility to pass **kwargs because it was possible to make choices regarding what method is used to compute the covariance matrix. In principle, a matrix that differs from the standard one, could now be passed directly to the routine.
One could also think to explicitly check the **kwargs of the fit function for entries that are relevant for the covariance matrix. With the current implementation the parameter smooth cannot be passed on... What do you think?

It should be sufficient to change

pyerrors/pyerrors/fits.py

Line 369 in 4089238

corr = covariance(y_all, correlation=True, **kwargs)

to something like

corr = covariance(y_all, correlation=True, smooth=kwargs.get('smooth', None)) 

to get rid of the error and to still allow to use the smoothing here. If we don't pass on the keyword, this would be a breaking change that we could at some point implement, but maybe only with a deprecation warning where we check if the keyword has been passed.
