New features

• Fix ['science', 'no-latex'] font does not work with symbols (e.g. degree symbol)
  This style set was found to be incompatible with Cartopy.
• Add all 23 "discrete rainbow" styles proposed by Paul Tol on his website (by @IchBinGROOT)
  Access them with the style names discrete-rainbow-1, discrete-rainbow-2, ..., discrete-rainbow-23
• Update README.md to reflect that Install from conda-forge is now available!

Maintenance

• Update Paul Tol's webpage link to https://sronpersonalpages.nl/~pault/ in relevant comments through the project.
• Improve turkish-font.mplstyle (may add some breaking changes)
  1. : and ! are now interpreted as text by default, not as control characters.
  2. Assume UTF-8 encoding by default.
  3. Enhance compatibility, especially with T1 font encoding, by using the package lmodern.
• Now all subdirectories of the styles folder are parsed for styles, instead of just the first two levels.
• Upgrade & unify issue templates.
