Bugfix: numpy array z-values

Fixes a bug where data values were not being properly extracted from numpy arrays unless passed as a z kwarg.

Improvements to vertical interactive plots

• Improves support for interactive plots which display the core data variable on the x-axis
  • Fixes a bug which resulted in the y-axis label referring to the core data variable even when plotted on the x-axis

Adds interactive plots

Adds the module earthkit.plots.interactive, which contains methods for plotting interactive:

• Box plots with any number of quantiles
• Bar charts
• Line plots

Raise useful error when scipy is not installed

Scipy is an optional dependency of earthkit-plots, which means that certain functionality is not available when scipy is not installed. This release adds more useful error messages when users attempt to use functionality which requires scipy, but scipy is not installed.

Adds initial implementation of visualising unstructured grids
