Description of proposed changes

• geocode: support single input for the mintpy.geocode.laloStep option, as it is commonly used; and convert it into a list of two internally in the code.

• smallbaselineApp.run_load_data(): tune the auto-skipping, by not adding the metadata from the custom template to the geometry HDF5 file, to avoid updating its file modification time.

• timeseries_rms: auto adjust figure width for long TS

• utils.utils1.spatial_average():

  • always read the output from the text file, which is in 1e-4 precision, to ensure consistency.
  • use the dataset MODIFICATION_TIME for ifgramStack file, for a more representative run/skip checking.
