minimum curvature desurveying

[collord]

I'm looking at adding a different desurveying routine, and I see that currently drilldown relies on h5geopy for desurvey. In fact, I can't see much else that h5geopy is used for. Am I way off base? Or might you be interested in a possibly better desurvey and the removal of the h5geopy dependency?

Hey @collord! Super excited about your interest in the project. You're right — atm geoh5py is used only for desurveying. The desurveying bit could use some love and I was thinking about when I'd have time to come back to it, so I'd definitely appreciate your contribution. With that resolved, I'd be happy for us to drop geoh5py as a dependency.

That being said, tighter integration with geoh5py (e.g., visualize directly from a geoh5 file loaded into a jupyter notebook) is something I'm considering for the future, so it might come back at some point down the road!

I submitted a fairly minimal PR to geoh5py to use wellpathpy for desurveying (default minimum curvature). It sounded like that was the best path. Then there will be a very minimal PR to drilldown to make it work.

Okay awesome! I'll keep an eye on the geoh5py PR.
