thunder 1.1.3 (2023-11-11)

Adding new tests for thermodynamic indices failing with metPy 1.5, but working smoothly with thundeR and sharppy

Allowing to keep NA values in get_sounding() which might be not harmful if missing data occur on higher altitudes for dew point temperatures

Improvements in C++ algorithm responsible for more accurate computations of parcel trajectories and related thermodynamic indices
- Minor bug fixes in CIN calculation procedure
- Minor bug fixes in mixed-layer calculation procedure
- Minor bug fixes in DCAPE calculation procedure
Fixing code leaks in C++ module
New parameters added. Currently the list of computed parameters contains over 200 indices
Documentation and pkgdown site updates
Removing dependency to the climate package by including internal functions responsible for downloading soundings from Wyoming database
Improving graphical layout:
- Adding parcel trajectories shading for positive area
- shading SRH area for left- and right movers on sounding hodographs
Implementation of different interpolating mechanisms to sounding_compute()
UX improvements and interactive editing of rawinsonde data browsed in shiny app (http://rawinsonde.com)

Fixing code leaks in C++ module (big thanks to Jakub Nowosad!)
Adding new convective parameters
Adding set of parameters for interpolation accuracy that allow to control computation performance
Further improvements in graphical layout for sounding_plot(), skewt_plot() and sounding_hodograph
