Version 1.5.0 - responsive command line interface

New Features

• responsive command line interface (CLI) via lazy imports of the mintpy.cli sub-module (#828, #854 by A. Valentino & Z. Yunjun). The new mintpy.cli sub-module contains all the CLI-related functionality and provides a significant speedup for all command line interactions, e.g. the help message and arguments checking.
• switch the source code structure to the standard src/mintpy layout (#903, by Z. Yunjun & S. Staniewicz)
• plate_motion refactoring (#851, #858, #868, #906 by Y. K. Liu & Z. Yunjun):
  • add mintpy.objects.euler_pole for plate motion calculation and conversion.
  • drop the dependency on astropy and platemotion.
  • switch the default local coordinate translation from ECEF from sphere to spheroid.
  • support azimuth output
  • renamed from bulk_plate_motion to plate_motion
• timeseries2velocity: save residue and intercept dataset (#835)
• dem_error: bugfix on the phase velocity minimization (#875, #890, #902, #905, by Z. Yunjun & S. Mirzaee):
  • change cutoff cond from 1e-15 to 1e-8 in scipy.linalg.lstsq() to avoid occasionally abnormal high residue.
  • remove the all-zero column in the design matrix, to avoid occasionally high fitting residue.
• IO & utility:
  • objects.timeseries.read: auto-switch between array / single indexing to speedup (#851)
  • load_data: support azimuth angle file for ASF HyP3 product (#865)
  • readfile.read_attribute: allow ENVI files created with SUFFIX=ADD (#841 by S. Staniewicz)
  • save_hdf5eos: calculate data_footprint for radar-coded dataset (#833 by A. Terrero)
  • save_roipac: support non-velocity dataset from the velocity file (#874 by B. Marfito)
  • geocode: copy dataset units, such as from velocity.h5 file (#910)
  • constants: move from mintpy.objects to the root mintpy level (#911)
• dependency change:
  • add pre-commit (#873)
  • add rich (#851)
• bugs fix (#842, #843, #849, #851, #853, #860, #864, #871, #879, #883, #888, #901)

Technical Improvements

• add pre-commit hook (#852, #856, #866, #881, #907)
• add dependabot to auto-update GitHub Actions (#893, #894, #895, #896, #897, #898, #899)
• enable building distributions for PRs by splitting it from upload to PyPI (#893)
• more unit tests for dem_error, euler_pole
• delete obsolete mintpy/legacy/gui folder (#846)
