Add to_geopandas method for BUFR data
This will be the first implementation of a to_geopandas()
method in earthkit-data. Things to consider:

, which can extract thegeometry
andcrs
columns required by geopandas. So the conversion should be straightforward. - geopandas will bring in new (binary) dependencies, they should be optional
