add DoubleSidedGausssian pdf which is used for boosted H->aa->mumutautau analysis (SUS-23-005/HIG-18-024) for signal modelling.
It compiles/works in local test.

This class doesn't implement anaytical integral capabilities, so it will be always integrated numerically. That's a major performance hit.

yMax is not used anywhere, right? Why is it needed?

Hi @hjkwon260!

Please consider using the equivalent class that is already in RooFit, which also supports analytical normalization integrals, etc.:

It should be avoided that RooFit functionality is duplicated in experiment frameworks, because this puts an unnecessary maintenance burden on the combine devs.

Or did I overlook something and there is a mathematical difference between your DoubleSidedGaussian and RooFits RooBifurGauss?
