Create a resolution function for MultipleSeries object

[khider]

Right now, needs to iterate through the series_list to do so.

In terms of functionality, we should allow for the ability to make plots/calculation for the individual series in the MultipleSeries object as well as doing summaries (i.e., one histogram plot for all series).

I agree that such a method would be useful for MultipleSeries, however I am not sure I see the point of having one histogram plot for all series. Indeed, when treating MultipleSeries it is often essential to separate Series according to their resolution (e.g. this notebook). How would one do that if all the resolution values are lumped together?

However, I could imagine some kind of boxplot or ridgeplot, with Series labels, being helpful for up to 10-15 series. For larger collections, it may be necessary to have colored rugplots to separate the various datasets.

@khider what's your feeling on this?

This request was coming from a particular use case in the hackathon. In this case, the idea was to look in aggregates to make better decision on steps for common_time.

I think a violin plot of all series could be useful as well.

Recommendation from the 02/09 High Council: boxplot + swarmplot as in https://seaborn.pydata.org/examples/horizontal_boxplot.html. Label each one with the Series label
