Fix #157.
In the Priors panel, checking estimate on a distribution's own parameter (e.g. Normal's mean/sigma, LogNormal's M/S) is supposed to pop up a "Hyper prior" confirmation dialog and, once confirmed, add a new hyperprior row to the panel. This silently did nothing.
Root cause
Two separate bugs, both in ScalarInputEditor.toggleEstimate():
Both failures were silently swallowed by a catch-all in toggleEstimate(), which is why the checkbox appeared to just do nothing.
Fix
Testing
Added HyperPriorTest, a GUI test driving the actual Priors panel:
All 16 tests in the affected area pass (HyperPriorTest, FixedMeanRateTest, ScalarInputEditorTest, ScalarDistributionInputEditorTest, TensorDistributionInputEditorTest).
