Patch for "no polynomial" case for azimuth FM rate mitigation & handling the burst without burst polygon (#134)

* Take care of the case when the az. time of the polynomial list does not cover sensing start / stop

* Let `InterpolatedUnivariateSpline` to return boundary values when the input parameter is out of the interpolator's range

* extrapolate the burst center point the border polygon when the burst polygon data is missing in the metadata

* Interface to turn on / off the correction

* ditch out burst border polygon extrapolation, and fill that with `None`

* Place empty geometry instead of `None`

* whitespace removal

* Apply suggestions from code review

Co-authored-by: Liang Yu <liangjyu@gmail.com>

* add description about "no polynomials for burst" case

* get rid of unnecessary module in `s1-reader.py`

* bump the version

* more clarification about the missing polynomial case
