Description
AS reported in https://discourse.pymc.io/t/custom-distribution-for-truncated-gamma/11006/7?u=ricardov94 SymbolicRandomVariable distributions like ExGaussian couldn't be Truncated. The reason why this restriction was inplace are technical, and have to do with not all SymbolicRandomVariables being completely encapsulated in the inner graph. For distributions like Mixture this would be quite some work (which we may still want to do).
However many SymbolicRandomVariables are fine, specially those introduced in #7239.
This PR allow truncation of those that are fine.
