With this, wrapping parameter-substituted value functions is no longer
necessary and any overhead of using builder parameter substitutions
disappears.

This requires changes to other modules, but these were kept to a
minimum.  The most important one is that
builder._FinalizedBuilderMixin.hamiltonian() now always calls value
functions using *args.

So it's no longer necessary to provide the REFNAME environment variable.
Also the link template string format is now more general to support at
least gitlab github and cgit.

Previously we masked points that are further than a "typical" distance
from any site. This was determined as the minimal nearest-neighbor
distance from 10 arbitrarily chosen sites. Now we mask points where
the bump function is zero (as it has finite support).

Closes #219.

Previously we had forgotten the padding, so the mask was applied
at the wrong position.

The former creates a numpy.matrixlib.matrix object, while the latter a regular
numpy array.

Closes #218

'box-forced' is deprecated as of matplotlib 2.2.

Gitlab now has built-in mirroring, so we don't need to have a CI
step for this now.

Refactor 'plotter.density' into 'plotter.scalarplot' and
fix up plotter docstrings.

Now 'plotter.density' is just the composition of
'interpolate_density' and 'scalarplot', which makes it easier
for users to customise if they need.

See merge request kwant/kwant!223

Previously 'plotter.density' was not as well factored as
'plotter.current', which made it hard to compose, e.g. for
passing custom parameters to 'plotter.interpolate_density'.

Gitlab now has built-in mirroring, so we don't need to have a CI
step for this now.

Allow different lattice spacing in each dimension for 'kwant.continuum'. Also simplify the processing of
'grid' and 'grid_spacing' and fix up some docstrings

Closes #197

See merge request kwant/kwant!220

Python's lack of block scope means that we should avoid
temporaries where they don't significantly clarify meaning

Previously parts of the docstrings for 'density' and 'current'
had been switched.

Closes #207.

pyplot "attaches" a figure to a backend on calling pyplot.figure. Previously we
implemented a hack that worked around this limitation in case the user did not
import pyplot. However this hack is fragile and breaks new things with newer
matplotlib versions. Now we detect whether the figure is intended for pyplot
and import pyplot directly if it is.

This change also allows us to simplify the interface and the implementation of
output_fig, but this is permitted because it is an internal function.

clarify usage of pseudoinverse, and factor out
rank checks for primitive lattice vectors

Closes #209.

Currently code that do constraints check on "prim_vecs" during lattice
creation is doubled. In addition to factoring it out into separate
function this commit also adds check if "prim_vecs" are linearly independent.

This was always what was meant semantically; newer versions
of Scipy are stricter about what they accept for row/column
indices for COO matrices.

Closes #211.

Kwant no longer builds with Cython 0.22, and our oldest
supported operating systems ship with at least 0.24.3
as of now.

Closes #204

In the future numpy will not allow multidimensional slices that
are specified as sequences other than tuples.

Closes #210.
