Remove rasterio in favor of just teaching the rioxarray way of reading, reprojecting, writing #12

After teaching the lessons that are implemented here at for the NASA DEVELOP program at JPL, I think it makes sense to focus on teaching the easiest way to accomplish common geospatial and data operations. I've removed the rasterio examples that involve calculating a default transform in order to reproject or using a with clause with **kwargs to write out files or reproject. The rioxarray methods usually involve one liners that feel intuitive from a novice's standpoint.

Timings for the raster lessons that do not have FIXME have been updated to reflect what we saw in the workshop.
