Compatibility fixes and code formatting

Compatibility fixes

We now use the new convert_coordinate method that has been introduced with psyplot v1.4.1 (see psyplot/psyplot#39 and #30)

Compatibility fixes and LGPL license

As with psyplot 1.4.0, psy-simple is now continuously tested and deployed with CircleCI.

psyplot does now have a CITATION.cff file, see https://citation-file-format.github.io

psy-simple is now officially licensed under LGPL-3.0-only, see #28
We use CicleCI now for a standardized CI/CD pipeline to build and test the code and docs all at one place, see #27

Patch for plotting the polygons with 3D bounds

the values 'tri', 'tricontour' and 'tricontourf' for the plot formatoptions have been depreceated and should be replaced by 'poly', 'contour' and 'contourf' respectively, see #23

New background and mask formatoptions and more options for colorbar bounds

a new background formatoption has been implemented that allows to set the facecolor of the axes (i.e. the background color for the plot)
a new mask formatoption has been implemented that allows to mask the data based on a mask that can either be in the dataset or in a separate file (see #15)
the bounds and other ticks (e.g. xticks, yticks, cticks) formatoptions have gained multiple new values (all backwards-compatible, see #13):
- they now support discrete logarithmic and symmetric bounds/ticks via bounds='log' and bounds='symlog'.
- The bounds and other tick formatoptions (xticks, cticks, yticks, etc.) now support a dictionary as a value, e.g.:
```
plotter.update(bounds={'method': 'rounded', 'percmin': 5})
```
- You can specify vmin and vmax for color bounds and ticks which prevents their automatic estimation, e.g. via:
```
plotter.update(bounds={'method': 'rounded', 'vmin': 50, 'vmax': 75})
# or
plotter.update(bounds=['rounded', None, None, None, 50, 75])
```

values in the statusbar are only shown, if the drawn artist contains the cursor position, see #18
psy-simple now requires matplotlib greater or equal than 2.0
psy-simple has been moved from https://github.com/Chilipp/psy-simple to https://github.com/psyplot/psy-simple, see #7
The color handling of the color formatoption has been changed to allow appending of new data. The colors attribute can be extended by the color_cycle using the extended_colors attribute (see #10)

Fixed a bug to calculate color bounds for uniform data, see #9
An issue has been fixed with the setting of colorbar ticks after updating the colorbar bounds (see #13)

The plot2d plotmethod now also supports unstructured data of any shape (see issue#6)
Added a categorical formatoption to the barplot plot method to allow a switch between categorical and non-categorical plots
The lineplot method now also support 'stacked' plots

Changelog
interp_bounds formatoption for the plot2d plot method (see the docs)
Added the fldmean plot method that can be used to directly calculate and plot the mean over the x- and y-dimensions
