This commit adds a function to check if a sampler is actually enabled,
meaning that it does not have values that disables its effect. This is
then used by the backend samplers initialization to avoid considering
samplers that are not enabled when determining the split point between
them.
The motivation for this is that this allows the default sampler chain
for `--samplers` to be used and any sampler that is not enabled will not
cause the backend samplers to be skipped.
For example, before this change if the penalties sampler was included in
the samplers list but had default values that disable it, it would cause
the backend samplers to be skipped entirely.
This commit also contains some refactoring to remove some code
duplication.
