Major update (version 1.0.0)

Version 1.0.0 contains many major updates from the previous versions: + Major updates to functions. + fitGeneric is now smoothSurvey + fitINLA is now smoothDirect + fitINLA2 is now smoothCluster + More extensions in both smoothed direct and cluster level models. + Major changes to how temporal models are specified with time.model and st.time.model. + More interpretable parameterization of slope and random slopes. + More visualization options. + Note: Previous function name and argument syntax remain to work as before, but may not receive high priority in maintenance in the future.
+ Many minor improvements in functions. + Better model summary message. + Removed unnecessary function arguments, e.g., geo in various functions. + Removed the requirement to repeated specifying Amat, year_label and year_range. Now they are only required in the model fitting stage. + New vignettes.
