## Description
> Description of the issue (or feature request).
This RFC proposes adding the [Skellam distribution](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skellam_distribution). Similar to other distribution namespaces, adding support for the Skellam distribution would entail a family of packages for evaluating the PMF, CDF, mean, median, etc.
Namespace: `@stdlib/stats/base/dists/skellam`
Reference: [`@stdlib/stats/base/dists/*`](https://github.com/stdlib-js/stdlib/tree/develop/lib/node_modules/%40stdlib/stats/base/dists)
