Changes in geospatial functions to move forward to sf/terra

I changed the base to the mablab dev branch.

@Cidree there are a number of newly imported packages here; are all of these necessary or could their usages be replaced with base R processes? In some cases it appears only a single function from the package is being used. It would be good to keep the package as dependent-lite as possible. In particular:

dplyr
purrr
tidyr
glue
rlang

@dnbucklin I can surely recude the number of dependencies. I'd like to keep purrr because it's faster and adds a progress bar when writing/loading rasters. The rest can be easily removed
