remove focus on cc_location #18

This was a natural function to write, because it gives a raster object for immediate use. But arguably, ceramic should be about the tiles and not create rasters - better would be

create VRT lazy rasters from tiles in ceramic
put cc_location() or equivalent in another package, with ceramic as one provider
elevate get_loc() to a user-function, with a good name (it just gets tiles from a query, and tile source, type, format)
