Proposal

cmdstanr recently added a new fitting method called Pathfinder. I've searched the repo and can't find any mention of this method, so I don't think it's possible to use stantargets with the pathfinder method.

It would be great to add a tar_stan_pathfinder() (or similar) to enable this functionality in stantargets. I think this would be a fairly minor edit of https://github.com/ropensci/stantargets/blob/main/R/tar_stan_vb.R as the inputs and outputs are similar to tar_stan_vb(). I could potentially take this on at some point, but not for the next few weeks.

Thanks

Love the package, thanks @wlandau!
