Streamline `.data` and search #103

STAC support with 1.0.0 can only be a very first step. We are then supporting 4 different types of "endpoints": STAC Api, a local STAC catalog, SciHub and Earth Explorer. Querying STAC API does not even work with the usual methods because they would be too limiting for what's possible.

Sentinelsat does support OpenSearch so we can leave this much more flexible (like with STAC API) and use them both the same way, just with different kwargs. That mainly leaves EarthExplorer which might soon become available via STAC API:

The engineering team is working on a resolution for the SAT API issue and will provide an update when these SpatioTemporal Asset Catalog (STAC) records are available.

Also the platform parameter has most likely only historic reasons and we might be able to get rid of it.
