Enhancements

• added temporal flag to CovModel to explicitly specify spatio-temporal models #308
  • rotation between spatial and temporal dimension will be ignored
  • added spatial_dim to CovModel to explicitly set spatial dimension for spatio-temporal models
    • if not using spatial_dim, the provided dim needs to include the possible temporal dimension
    • spatial_dim is always one less than field_dim for spatio-temporal models
  • also works with latlon=True to have a spatio-temporal model with geographic coordinates
  • all plotting routines respect this
  • the Field class now has a temporal attribute which forwards the model attribute
  • automatic variogram fitting in kriging classes for temporal=True and latlon=True will raise an error
• added geo_scale to CovModel to have a more consistent way to set the units of the model length scale for geographic coordinates #308
  • no need to use rescale for this anymore (was rather a hack)
  • added gs.KM_SCALE which is the same as gs.EARTH_RADIUS for kilometer scaling
  • added gs.DEGREE_SCALE for great circle distance in degrees
  • added gs.RADIAN_SCALE for great circle distance in radians (default and previous behavior)
  • yadrenko variogram respects this and assumes the great circle distances is given in the respective unit
  • vario_estimate also has geo_scale now to control the units of the bins
• vario_estimate now forwards additional kwargs to standard_bins (bin_no, max_dist) #308
• added low and high arguments to uniform transformation #310

Changes

• CovModels expect special arguments by keyword now #308
• always use f-strings internally #283
• removed verbose attribute from RandMeth classes #309
• all arguments for RandMeth classes key-word-only now except model #309
• rename "package" to "api" in doc structure #290

Bugfixes

• latex equations were not rendered correctly in docs #290
