ncvue - Use CustomTkinter if installed

Version 5.0 uses CustomTkinter if it is installed. This is not directly working on conda because conda installs a tk/tcl version without support for FreeType/TrueType, font detection, Unicode, or antialiasing by default. CustomTkinter then looks very ugly. There is a solution (for Linux) in a comment on Conda's issue tracker: conda-forge/tk-feedstock/pull/40

This version also adds a Quit button and corrects datetime formatting when printing the coordinates while hoovering over the plots.

ncvue - First tested full-featured release of ncvue

First full-featured release of ncvue, a minimal GUI for a quick view of netCDF files. It is aiming to be a drop-in replacement for ncview, being slightly more general than ncview, which targets maps. If ncvue is used with maps, it supports mostly structured grids, more precisely the grids supported by cartopy.

This release features three panels, that means three different plotting styles: Scatter/Line plots, Contour Plots, and Maps. It includes tooltips on buttons, sliders, entry boxes, spinboxes, and menus. Graphical documentation exists on Github Pages.
