Improve support for geographic coordinates

Description of the desired feature

Some functions from verde are intended to work with both projected and geographic coordinates. Nevertheless, working with the latter imposes some requirements. For example, one must ensure continuity around the globe: setting a grid between longitudes 170° and -170° or between 350° and 10° is not possible at the time because numerically the east coordinate is lower than the west one. One way to fix this is to add a latlon=True argument to those functions in order to make clear that we are passing geographic coordinates.

I’ll try to make a complete list of the functions that needs to be enhanced:

• inside()
• grid_coordinates()
• scatter_coordinates()
• profile_coordinates()
• get_region()
• pad_region()

Are you willing to help implement and maintain this feature? Yes

👍 I’ll add a PR when I start tackling this.

@santisoler I think you could get started with a latlon or geographic style option in one of those functions.
