QuickOpenData 0.2

Adds cloud-native GeoParquet support — read datasets straight from object storage (Portolan / STAC), with no server.

Highlights

• New geoparquet dataset type — added as a live OGR layer over GDAL's /vsicurl/ (HTTP range reads, no download). CRS comes from the GeoParquet metadata.
• Downloads for GeoParquet — Download current extent to file… (clip to the current/chosen extent, recommended) and Download full to file… (gated by a size warning). Results are reprojected to the project CRS and cached per extent.
• import_stac tool — walk a STAC / Portolan catalog into catalog JSON.
• Bundled Spain catalog (cloud_native_geoparquet.json) — Overture places/buildings and VIDA building footprints, hosted on Source Cooperative.
• New filter category and icon distinguishing cloud-native sources from OWS services.
