basemaps 0.0.4

Updated help, bug fixes.

Bugs:

• dropped defunct/not maintained tile servers (OSM) from map services list
• fixing a bug ("dimensions of e1 and e2 do not match") when trying to build a map from map_service="mapbox" and map_type="terrain" with newer versions of stars
• added a handling to fix a plotting bug for cases in which maps returned by tile servers (for whatever reasons) consist of only a single value (e.g. 0) for the given query extent (#9)
• fixed a bug placing cached maps in the wrong directory when map_dir is defined by the user (#11)
• cached maps stored in other directories than the currently set map_dir are now disregarded to avoid path errors when switching map directories during a session (#11)

Features:

• added flush_cache, a function that flushes the cache and thereby removes all previously queried and/or composited products from the map directories (temporary or user-defined using the argument map_dir) used during the current session.

Initial release.

New functions:

• get_maptypes() returns every supported map service and map type that can be used as input to the map_service and map_type arguments of set_defaults(), basemap() or associated functions.
• draw_ext() lets you draw an extent on an interactive map.
• set_defaults(), get_defaults() and reset_defaults() set, get or reset the defaults of all map arguments passed to basemap() or associated functions.
• basemap() and its aliases basemap_raster(), basemap_stars(), basemap_mapview(), basemap_plot(), basemap_ggplot(), basemap_gglayer(), basemap_magick(), basemap_png() and basemap_geotif() (down)load and cache a basemap of a defined extent ext, map_service and map_type and return it as an object of the defined class.
