Update to 1.1.0

Upstream changes:
1.1.0: (doi: 10.5281/zenodo.165135)
 - General:
   * Read support for Guralp Compressed Format (GCF) waveform data,
     obspy.io.gcf (see #1449)
   * Read support for Reftek 130 (rt130) waveform data,
     obspy.io.reftek (see #1433)
   * Add Nordic format (s-file) read/write (see #1517)
   * Read and write support for events in the SCARDEC catlogue format
     (see #1391).
   * Read support for IASPEI ISF ISM 1.0 Bulletin event data,
     (see #1946)
   * Write support for AH (Ad Hoc version 1) format (see #1754)
   * Client to access the Nominal Response Library (NRL) (see #1185).
   * `obspy.read_inventory()` can now read dataless SEED and RESP files
     (see #1185).
   * change version number scheme for scenarios when no official version number
     can be determined (see #1889 and #1916)
   * Support for the IRIS Federator and EIDAWS FDSNWS web routing services
     (see #1779 and #1919).
 - obspy.core:
   * UTCDateTime is now based on nanoseconds (long) instead of a unix
     timestamp in microseconds (float) - resulting in higher precision and
     support for years 1-9999 (see #1325)
   * Ensure that Trace.data is always C-contiguous in memory (see #1732)
   * Event/ResourceIdentifier is now object aware, meaning even if two
     objects share a resource_id the distinct objects will be returned with
     the get_referred_object method provided both are still in scope. If one
     of the objects gets garbage collected, however, a warning will be issued
     and the behavior will be the same as before (see #1644).
   * Better error message when attempting to write invalid QuakeML resource
     ids (see #1699).
   * Stream/Trace.write() can now autodetect file format from file extension
     (see #1321).
   * New convenience property `.matplotlib_date` for `UTCDateTime` objects to
     get matplotlib datetime float representation (which can be used in
     time-based matplotlib axes, e.g. by Stream.plot(); see #1339).
   * Trace.times() has new options `type` and `reftime` to support fetching an
     array of sampletimes in various different timing varieties \ 
("relative":
     the old default, float relative to trace starttime or `reftime` in
     seconds; "utcdatetime": absolute times as UTCDateTime objects;
     "timestamp": array of float POSIX timestamps, compare
     `UTCDateTime.timestamp`; "matplotlib": array of float matplotlib \ 
dates,
     useful for plotting on matplotlib time axes; see #1307)
   * A trace's stats.network/station/location/channel can now also be set in
     one line using a SEED ID string (e.g. `trace.id = "GR.FUR..HHZ"`,
     see #1439).
   * Instrument correction for response list stages originating from inventory
     objects (see #1514).
   * `Stream.rotate(...)` can now also be used to rotate unaligned channels to
     Z-N-E, given an Inventory (see #1310)
   * Non finite floats (NaN, inf, -inf) can now no longer be set for all
     event objects (see #1597).
   * Instrument responses can now also be calculated for a given list of
     frequencies (see #1598).
   * Order of extra tags for event type classes serialized to QuakeML can now
     be controlled by using an OrderedDict (see #1617)
   * Bode plots can now optionally plot the phase in degrees (see #1763).
   * `Stream.select()` now also works on the component level if channels only
     have one letter (see #1847).
   * Now strips all invalid characters from the temporary filenames used for
     downloading data using the `read_X()` methods (see #1958).
 - obspy.clients.earthworm:
   * Much faster trace unpacking (see #1762).
 - obspy.clients.fdsn:
   * empty SEED codes (e.g. ``network=''``) will now be properly sent to the
     server as options and not omitted, which led to wildcard matching (for
     details see #1578)
   * The mass downloader now has `exclude_networks` and `exclude_stations`
     arguments to not download certain pieces of data. (see #1305)
   * The mass downloader can now download stations that are part of a given
     inventory object.
   * The mass downloader now also works with restricted data. (See #1350)
   * No data (HTTP 204) responses now raise `FDSNNoDataException` rather than
     the more general `FDSNException`.
   * Fixing cross implementation of bulk waveform and station requests (see
     #1685).
   * Adding mappings for the TEXNET (see #1852) and the ICGC (see #1902)
     services.
   * Support for the non-standard EIDA token authentication (see #1928).
 - obspy.imaging:
   * The functionality behind the `obspy-scan` command line script has been
     refactored into a `Scanner` class so that it can be reused in custom
     workflows. (see #1444)
 - obspy.imaging.cm:
   * new colormap: viridis_white. This is a modification of viridis that
     goes to white instead of yellow but remains perceptually uniform. It
     is especially useful for printing when an image should merge with the
     white background.
 - obspy.imaging.waveform:
   * Support for filling the wiggles when plotting sections (horizontal and
     vertical, see #1445).
 - obspy.io.arclink:
    * Read support for Arclink Inventory XML (see #1539)
    * default for `route` parameter in metadata requests is changed to `False`
      (see #1756)
 - obspy.io.ascii:
    * Custom formatting of sample values when writing SLIST and TSPAIR.
 - obspy.io.datamark:
    * Renamed without deprectation to obspy.io.win to match its original name.
      Datamark is a datalogger, saving the WIN format.
 - obspy.io.gse2:
    * Read support for GSE2.0 bulletin (see #1528)
 - obspy.io.nlloc:
    * Also parse author information and COMMENT line (see #1484)
    * Fix reading hypocenter files created by NonLinLoc versions of the 6.0.x
      beta branch (see #1760 and #1783)
 - obspy.io.quakeml:
    * Read and write support for nested custom tags (see #1463)
    * Fix some minor bugs that could lead to empty stub elements, e.g. like
      empty MomentTensor when reading and later writing again a QuakeML file
      with a FocalMechanism but no MomentTensor, potentially resulting in
      QuakeML files that breach the QuakeML schema (see #1896)
 - obspy.io.seiscomp:
    * Read and write support for SC3ML event (see #1638 and #1848)
    * Fix bug where files with arbitrary publicIDs and files with missing
      depth, latitude, longitude, or elevation tags could not be read
      (see #1817)
 - obspy.io.stationtxt:
    * Write support for stationtxt format (see #1466)
 - obspy.io.stationxml:
    * Read and write support for custom tags (see #1024)
    * No longer add the (unused) time zone field to StationXML datetimes to
      follow the example of big data centers. (see #1572)
    * Level of detail can be specified during inventory write (see #1830)
      using the level keyword (one of: network, station, channel, response).
    * Skip empty and incomplete channels during reading (see #1839, #1840).
 - obspy.io.segy:
    * Fixing an issue when comparing two still packed SEG-Y trace headers
      (see #1735).
    * Iterative reading of large SEG-Y and SU files with
      `obspy.io.segy.segy.iread_segy` and `obspy.io.segy.segy.iread_su`.
      (see #1400).
    * Write correct revision number (see #1737).
    * Textual headers will now always contain the file revision number and the
      end header mark if nothing else exists at these positions (see #1738).
    * The SEG-Y format detection now also checks the format version number
      (see #1781).
    * Enable reading SEG-Y files that have day of year 0 in trace header
      (see #1722).
    * Write textual file headers also if given as a text string
      (see #1811, #1813).
 - obspy.io.css:
   * Read support for NNSA KB Core format waveform data. (see #1332)
 - obspy.io.mseed:
   * New generic get_flags() utility function able to retrieve statistics
     about all fixed header flags and the timing quality. This makes the
     get_timing_and_data_quality() function obsolete which is thus
     deprecated and will be removed with the next release. The get_flags()
     function is also much faster. (see #1141)
   * Always hook up the libmseed logging to its Python counterpart to avoid
     some rare segfaults. (see #1658)
   * Update to libmseed v2.19.5 (see #1703, #1780, #1939).
   * Correctly read MiniSEED files with a data offset of 48 bytes (see #1540).
   * InternalMSEEDReadingError now called InternalMSEEDError and
     InternalMSEEDReadingWarning now called InternalMSEEDWarning as both
     can now also be raised in non-reading contexts (see #1658).
   * Should no-longer segfault with arbitrarily truncated files (see #1728).
   * Will now raise an exception when attempting to directly read mini-SEED
     files larger than 2048 MiB (#1746).
   * `.stats.mseed` attributes are no longer per-file but per-trace where
     applicable (see #1782).
   * `get_record_information()` - Don't fail if the word order is invalid.
 - obspy.io.nlloc:
   * Set preferred origin of event (see #1570)
 - obspy.io.nordic:
   * Add Nordic format (s-file) read/write (see #1517)
 - obspy.io.win:
   * see obspy.io.datamark.
 - obspy.io.xseed:
   * Added azimuth and dip to the get_coordinates() function. (see #1315)
   * Fixing some issues with the get_resp() output on Python 3 (see #1748).
   * Can now also parse RESP files (see #1185).
   * Can transform responses in the Parser object to ObsPy Inventory objects
     (see #1185).
 - obspy.scripts:
   * obspy-scan command line script now also plots and prints overlaps
     alongside gaps (see #1366)
   * obspy-plot now has option to disable min/max plot (see #1583)
 - obspy.signal:
   * fixed a bug in calibration.rel_calib_stack (resulting amplitude response
     had wrong scaling if using non-default "overlap_fraction", see #1821)
   * fixed a bug in coincidence_trigger() with event templates. when a template
     with mismatching SEED ID was encountered all following (potentially valid)
     templates were skipped as well (see #1850)
   * New obspy.signal.quality_control module to compute quality metrics from
     MiniSEED files. (see #1141)
   * New correlate function for calculating the cross-correlation function
     (new implementation based on Scipy).
     To calculate the shift of the maximum of the cross correlation use
     xcorr_max. The old xcorr function is deprecated but currently still
     exists (see #1585).
   * New obspy.signal.regression module to compute linear regressions, with or
     without weights, with or without allowing for an intercept. (see #1716,
     #1747)
   * add new plotting capabilities to PPSD (temporal variations per frequency
     and spectrogram-like plot) and also make underlying processed PSDs
     available via `PPSD.psd_values` property (see #1327)
   * Fixed bug in `rotate2zne()` for non-orthogonal configurations
     (see #1913, #1927).
   * Fixed build warnings in evalresp, partially backported from evalresp
     4.0.6 (see #1939).
 - obspy.taup:
   * Add obspy.taup.taup_geo.calc_dist_azi, a function to return the distance,
     azimuth and backazimuth for a source - receiver pair. (see #1538)
   * Fixing calculations through very small regional models. (see #1761)
   * Updated ray path plot method, added travel time plot method, and wrapper
     functions for both ray path and travel time plotting. (see #1501, #1877)
