update CI

[kadyb]

I updated CI exactly the same way as in gstat, but it requires activation in GitHub Actions. I also removed the generated docs directory from pkgdown as the sp Gallery is now hosted, but I don't know if that's ok?

Would it make sense to have a pkgdown site, and move the gallery to a vignette?

[kadyb]

Probably yes, but I have a question about the current status. How do you treat sp -- it may still be used as an alternative to sf or we should officially move to sf (I mean sp is not recommended anymore)?

[edzer]

Indeed, sp is not recommended anymore. But it also hasn't been deprecated so far, and requires little maintenance (I don't accept new features). There's still around 450 reverse dependencies, and currently if you work with large sets of POINT data sp may have a strong performance benefit over sf - I think that needs to be cleared out before we can start deprecating sp.

Thanks for the explanation!
