🔥 Remove cog3pio backend engine, drop xarray dependency#89
Merged
Conversation
Deciding to remove the image-tiff CPU-based Cog3pioBackendEntrypoint, in favour of the nvtiff CUDA-based backend happening over at cupy-xarray. Remove all code related to xarray, and also the rioxarray comparison benchmark. Users should look into other CPU-based TIFF readers (e.g. async-tiff) instead. This will also trim our dependency footprint considerably for easier maintenance and clearer focus on DLPack.
Remove xarray section from quickstart and API pages, deleted mention of xarray in recent changelog, and crossed it out in main README.md.
Take out async-tiff refactor since async-geotiff is out. Want to double-down more on hardware-accelerated decoding instead.

TODO:
CPU-based users should look into other TIFF readers (e.g. async-tiff) instead, while GPU-based users can look at xarray-contrib/cupy-xarray#81
