MAINT: stats.ContinuousDistribution: improve doc generation; fix broken doctests by making stats.Uniform public again (scipy#22027)

* MAINT: stats.ContinuousDistribution: revert to dynamic doc generation

* ENH: stats.Uniform: add uniform distribution

* BUILD: stats: remove reference to eliminated _new_distribution_docs.json

* MAINT: stats.Uniform: improvements

* MAINT: integrate.tanhsinh: fix regression
