Diff since v0.7.3

Merged pull requests:

• Migrate from SnoopPrecompile to PrecompileTools (#16) (@timholy)
• Add initial C3D writing functionality (#17) (@halleysfifthinc)
• Avoid passing an Int to stat (#19) (@LilithHafner)
• Validate C3DFile before writing (#20) (@halleysfifthinc)
• Improve read/write performance (#21) (@halleysfifthinc)
• Update documentation and bump version (#22) (@halleysfifthinc)

Closed issues:

• Add writec3d function (#2)
• Failed read when ANALOG:RATE is missing (#18)

Additional Highlights/Further details:

• File read speed improved by 20-40% and uses ~20% less memory (#21)
• Improved show methods for C3DFile, groups, and parameters
• New keyword argument handle_duplicate_parameters for readc3d
  • This resolves an issue where multiple parameters with the same name would overwrite each other. New default behavior is :keeplast, which maintains the previous behavior where the last parameter with a duplicated name takes precedence. See the docstring for other options.
• Warnings are now emitted when markers or analog channels are renamed due to having a duplicated name
• All dictionaries (point, analog , groups, etc fields) are now "ordered" (e.g. useful for iterating consistently, etc) in the order of definition in the .c3d file.
