Description

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**

The SpinDensityEstimator currently does not support open boundary conditions. Once supported we can deprecate or remove the DensityEstimator since the SpinDensityEstimator has a superset of the DensityEstimator functionality.

**Describe the solution you'd like**

Implement open boundary conditions

**Additional context**

This would be a good first code contribution or similarly a good topic for someone less familiar with the simulation/physics aspects of the code. The code in DensityEstimator should be translatable to SpinDensityEstimator.
