Better distinguish pixel_size from resolution #82

⚠️ Currently, pixel_size and resolution notions are a bit mixed.

This isn't a problem for optical data as the two words are usually understood the same. However, for SAR data, GRD pixel size is usually half the resolution, so:

In a global manner, pixel_size keyword should replace resolution as it is the correct one in our situation.

See this to have a good understanding of the two meanings.
