Prep 0.2.0

[KipCrossing]

This PR is a discussion about the new UI for the geotiff package.

One important aspect is the ability to read tiff files in their original CRS or to convert it to any other CRS. This conversion should be done with the help of the packages pycrs to cover most of the codes and PyProj to do the actual conversion.

Currently, the UI looks like:

geoTiff = GeoTiff(tiff_file, crs_code=4236)

where crs_code is the Optional code of the tiff file, for when the file cannot be detected.

There may need to be an additional parameter, say as_crs, to determine the CRS that the GeoTiff objects method should return its data as.

Another param in the init method is the band that has the default as 0. I'm pretty sure I saw a way to this with the tifffile package.

This becomes a bit tricky when using the read_box() method. Should the input coordinates be in the converted CRS or the original CRS. I think it should be in the converted CRS and be converted, within the method, back into the original CRS to cut the appropriate section out of the box. This becomes weird, however, the file and CRS orientations may not exist on the same plane. Perhaps using north, south, east and west could work for this purpose.

Also, the read() method should return a zarr array. should also include a read_numpy() method that returns a numpy array. perhaps also read_zarr() for consistency.

Although the get_coord_arrays method cannot do large arrays. We may need to implement dask to take advantage of this feature.

Also need to update the docs
