Allow using Gaussian input distributions in the image_data template method?

[isurulucky]

Hi,

Cirkit already supports Gaussian input layer [1], however it's not accessible via the image_data template method. I experimented changing the validations in [2] to support Gaussian input distributions, and it seems to work - did not test extensively though. Is there a specific reason not to support Gaussian inputs distributions for images?

Thanks,
Isuru.
