rename `grid` to `space` and change `UnstructuredGrid` #79

Closed Datseris closed 2 years ago

Datseris commented 2 years ago

It is incorrect to call spatial structure as "grid", and the name "unstructured grid" is missleading. There is structure. The point we care about is orthogonality.

So, UnstructuredGrid -> NonOrthogonal and LonLatGrid -> Orthogonal. This makes it clear.

actually best names are OrthogonalSpace and CoordinateSpace.
