v0.7.0

Summary

The internal Python extension performing the main LIC loop at a low-level was split out into its own package: rLIC
This is the first release of lick using rLIC, and as such, this package is now written in pure Python, improving portability and ease of development.
Overall performance is also improved as a result of the split:

• rLIC received further optimizations on top of what existed in lick's core
• grid interpolation is now performed concurrently, improving walltime performance

Typical use cases are expected to be performed twice as fast, as compared with lick 0.6.1.
