Add lonboard and upgrade stac_ipyleaflet

[abarciauskas-bgse]

We would like to add lonboard to the default VEDA JupyterHub image. There are a few cases for lonboard in VEDA, one which should be a notebook https://github.com/NASA-IMPACT/veda-docs/issues/115, but another would be to visualize DEMs generated by lidar (a use case I heard @naomatheus is working on.

@wildintellect mentioned we should also include an upgrade of stac_ipyleaflet in this issue as well, as we would like to see if lonboard could work on top of stac_ipyleaflet.

Acceptance criteria:

• [ ] lonboard comes installed in the default VEDA JupyterHub image.
• [ ] Visualizing results from a stac query with lonboard is tested and works as expected.

To be clear stac_ipyleaflet has a major bugfix, we need to bump to 0.3.6 to make it work again https://github.com/MAAP-Project/stac_ipyleaflet/releases/tag/0.3.6 @sandrahoang686 @ranchodeluxe @emmalu do we have notes for the process to release on VEDA jupyterhub?

We have documentation on this process that most folks have walked through already. What we don't have documentation on is a full upgrade (including base image) that this ticket (https://github.com/NASA-IMPACT/veda-jh-environments/issues/41) is attempting to do. But that checklist pretty accurate enough to start it

While testing notebooks for https://github.com/NASA-IMPACT/veda-jh-environments/pull/43 I upgraded stac_ipyleaflet to 0.3.6 as mentioned above but also had to add a cell with the following to get a working stac_ipyleaflet:

import os 
os.environ['TITILER_STAC_ENDPOINT']='https://staging-raster.delta-backend.com/stac'
os.environ['TITILER_ENDPOINT']='https://staging-raster.delta-backend.com/'
os.environ['STAC_CATALOG_NAME']='VEDA STAC'
os.environ['STAC_CATALOG_URL']='https://staging-stac.delta-backend.com/'

should I go ahead and add that to the docs as-is or wait until stac_ipyleaflet is upgraded?

@abarciauskas-bgse that info belongs here, users should not have to know about that, it's supposed to ship with the VEDA deployment of stac_ipyleaflet cc: @emmalu @sandrahoang686 We'll make sure to include those parameters in the image build with the upgrade.

Those environment variables should already be included, they were first released in v0.3.3 which is installed in the main (first) VEDA Jupyter env:

I did test upgrading up to v0.3.6 within the notebook and (after restarting the kernel), the OS variables seem to have persisted... 🤔

FYI, there's some interest in adding anywidget/lonboard to pangeo-docker-images at https://github.com/pangeo-data/pangeo-docker-images/issues/520. I'm adding anywidget for now at https://github.com/pangeo-data/pangeo-docker-images/pull/522, and lonboard could probably be added somewhere here later:
