Enable propagating obs columns to individual modalities

[mffrank]

There is currently no way of propagating columns in the global .obs slot of a mudata object to all modalities. This could be a useful feature, e.g. when you have metadata that you want to be present in all modalites (for example when unimodal methods depend on that metadata).

I think the easiest solution would be to have a mdata.propagate_obs() method that looks through the columns of the mudata.obs table and writes columns not currently present in the individual modalites to their respective .obs in 2 ways:

• columns without without a modname: prefix are written to all modalities
• columns with modname:xxx are written to the .obs of modname

This would enable something like this:

mdata.obs.merge(metadata)
mdata.propagate_obs()
