Move basemap data into separate package #509

Closed molinav closed 3 years ago

This pull request moves the data folder from lib/mpl_toolkits/basemap/data into lib/mpl_toolkits/basemap_data, and it updates the setup file accordingly. Also, basemap now relies on finding the basemap_data package to locate the data files unless the environment variable BASEMAPDATA is given.
