move from int16 to uint8 (bytes) #36

When downloading the images to sepal, the downloading speed is entirely related to the image coding and size. Our results have only 3 relevant value :

degraded: -1
stable: 0
improved: 1

It make no sense to use int16 to code that. I suggest we switch to uint8 to reduce the downloading time.

THe value will thus need to change :

degraded: 1
stable: 2
improved : 3
nodata: 0
