GMT/Python is a bad name because it can't be translated into a
repository or Python package name easily. What we have now is a
repository called gmt-python, a website gmtpython, a package gmt,
and a PyPI package gmt-python. This is madness.
Since all other GMT Python wrappers are dead, we'll rebrand as PyGMT
(repo and packages will be pygmt).

This renames the package and imports so that the tests pass and the docs
build. I'm sure we'll find many references to gmt but we can fix those
with time.

Fixes #263

Reminders

  • Run make format and make check to make sure the code follows the style guide.
  • Add tests for new features or tests that would have caught the bug that you're fixing.
  • Add new public functions/methods/classes to doc/api/index.rst.
  • Write detailed docstrings for all functions/methods.
  • If adding new functionality, add an example to docstrings or tutorials.

Couple of breaking changes. Since GenericMappingTools/pygmt#261, the conda-forge binary package is broken (hence all the recent CI build failures...) and we have to build the GMT binary from source, sigh. The new Dockerfile code for handling this isn't nice but it'll do for now.

Also, the Python `gmt-python` package has been renamed to `pygmt` in GenericMappingTools/pygmt#265, so the Pipfile is updated accordingly here. Also pinning to a newer git version on the upstream branch instead of my personal fork, since GenericMappingTools/pygmt#245 has been merged in!
