Change Scene.compute to something else

[djhoese]

Problem description

The Scene object has a method called compute that goes along with the Scene.load method's compute keyword argument. This method generates any composites that were requested by the user, but aren't currently in the Scene. This is needed when compute=False is passed to Scene.load.

The dask library also uses a .compute method on dask arrays (and xarrays backed by dask arrays). I propose that the Scene.compute method and the associated keyword should be renamed to something else to avoid confusion. Especially since we may want to include a compute method on the Scene in the future that computes all datasets in the Scene.

Possible method names and keyword argument names (please contribute):

• generate_composites/generate
• composite / composite
