Resolve sampling_time persistence between restarts for dynesty

This stores the sampling time in the resume file for dynesty and loads it allowing the sampling time for jobs which get restarted to reflect the total sampling time. Also defines the general mechanism for any other samper to act similarly.

Partially resolves #378 (closed)

I've run this "by hand" and checked that it works under a variety of circumstances (manual job interruption, interruption by signal.alarm etc and it seems robust).
