Description
Unlike the MonotoneComponent class, the RectifiedMultivariateExpansion class requires some of the expansion parameters to be positive in order for the resulting map to be monotone. We currently don't have a good way of defining or imposing these bounds during map training. I propose we add a ParameterBounds() function to the ConditionalMapBase class that returns any lower or upper bounds on the map parameters that are needed to ensure monotonicity. The default behavior could be [-inf,inf] indicating that no bounds are necessary.

Research direction
Start by reading ConditionalMapBase and comparing its parameter handling with MonotoneComponent and RectifiedMultivariateExpansion. Define the required bounds interface and its default no-bounds behavior, then verify that the positive constraints needed for monotonicity can be represented for map training.
