Trackpy gets stuck when subnetwork_size too large
From a discussion between me and @wreckdump in #320, we should document that sometimes trackpy
hangs on tracking when subnetwork_size
is too large. I've had trouble reliably replicating this, though. We should probably add a bit to the API docs saying to try that when/if it hangs.

Good point, yes we should do that.
It might also be helpful to look into catching more exceptions in trackpy (such as the inability to create a velocity field because the search distance is too small to connect any features) and raising them with more meaningful info for use with tobac
