Add query_point, get_time_series tools and polar projection support

- query_point: reverse-maps pixel RGB through colormap to recover exact
  data values at geographic coordinates
- get_time_series: fetches imagery across evenly-spaced dates for
  temporal analysis (up to 12 frames)
- Auto-detect polar stereographic projection (EPSG:3413/3031) for
  high-latitude bounding boxes
- Add progress reporting to all HTTP-calling tools
- Add quantitative_snapshot and seasonal_timelapse prompts
- Update README with 3 new conversational examples
- 92 tests passing

> **Assistant:** The composite overlay tells the story clearly. Over the LA basin, the true color base shows a visible smoke plume extending southwest over the Pacific. The aerosol optical depth overlay confirms it — the orange-to-red values (0.5-1.0) directly over the fire zone indicate thick particulate loading, fading to yellow-green (0.15, clean air) further out over the ocean. The fire thermal anomaly layer pinpoints the active burn areas as bright red hotspots in the foothills.

### Querying exact values at a point
*Try this with the `quantitative_snapshot` prompt: `layer_id="AIRS_L3_Surface_Air_Temperature_Daily_Day", locations="Tokyo, Sydney, Sahara Desert", date="2025-07-15"`*
> **You:** What's the actual surface temperature in Tokyo, Sydney, and the Sahara right now?
The assistant queries exact data values by reverse-mapping pixel colors through the layer's colormap:
```
→ explain_layer_colormap("AIRS_L3_Surface_Air_Temperature_Daily_Day")
Surface Air Temperature (K):
- light blue = below 200 K (-73.1 C)
- blue = ~260 K (-13.4 C)
- orange = ~290 K (17.1 C)
- magenta = above 320 K (46.9 C)
(242 color stops total, 5 key values shown)
→ query_point("AIRS_L3_Surface_Air_Temperature_Daily_Day", "2025-07-15",
lat=35.68, lon=139.69)
{"value": 299.2, "units": "K", "converted": "26.1 C",
"color": "orange", "quality": "exact",
"description": "mild"}
→ query_point(..., lat=-33.87, lon=151.21)
{"value": 282.8, "units": "K", "converted": "9.6 C",
"color": "blue", "quality": "exact",
"description": "near freezing"}
→ query_point(..., lat=25.0, lon=25.0)
{"value": 304.8, "units": "K", "converted": "31.6 C",
"color": "red", "quality": "exact",
"description": "hot"}
```
> **Assistant:** Here are the AIRS-measured surface air temperatures for July 15, 2025:
>
> | Location | Temperature | Condition |
> |----------|------------|-----------|
> | Tokyo | 26.1°C (299.2 K) | Mild summer day |
> | Sydney | 9.6°C (282.8 K) | Cool — it's winter in the Southern Hemisphere |
> | Sahara | 31.6°C (304.8 K) | Hot, typical for desert in July |
>
> These come from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) on NASA's Aqua satellite. The resolution is about 0.5°C — each of the 242 colormap entries covers a narrow value range, so the reverse-mapped pixel color gives an exact match to the original data.

### Watching a season unfold
*Try this with the `seasonal_timelapse` prompt: `layer_id="MODIS_Terra_NDVI_8Day", location="Great Plains, USA", start_date="2025-03-01", end_date="2025-09-01"`*
> **You:** Show me how vegetation changes across the US Great Plains from winter to summer.
The assistant fetches a sequence of images at regular intervals:
```
→ search_gibs_layers("NDVI")
MODIS_Terra_NDVI_8Day
MODIS/Terra Vegetation Index (NDVI), 8-Day — from 2000-02-18 (8-Day)
[has colormap]
→ explain_layer_colormap("MODIS_Terra_NDVI_8Day")
Vegetation Index (NDVI):
- tan/brown = ~0.1 (bare soil, dormant vegetation)
- yellow-green = ~0.3 (sparse vegetation)
- green = ~0.6 (moderate vegetation)
- dark green = ~0.9 (dense, healthy vegetation)
→ get_time_series("MODIS_Terra_NDVI_8Day",
place="Great Plains USA",
start_date="2025-03-01",
end_date="2025-09-01",
steps=6)
[6 images: Mar 1, Apr 13, May 25, Jul 6, Aug 17, Sep 1]
```
> **Assistant:** The six frames tell a clear story of the growing season:
>
> 1. **March** — The Plains are mostly tan/brown (NDVI ~0.1), winter dormancy. Only southern Texas shows hints of green.
> 2. **April** — A flush of yellow-green creeps north from Oklahoma as winter wheat greens up.
> 3. **May** — The green wave accelerates — Kansas and Nebraska shift to solid green (NDVI ~0.5) as corn and soybean planting peaks.
> 4. **July** — Peak vegetation. The entire region is dark green (NDVI 0.7-0.9). Crop canopy is fully closed.
> 5. **August** — Still green but beginning to yellow at the margins. Early harvest in southern counties.
> 6. **September** — Harvest underway. The palette shifts back toward yellow-green and tan as crops are cut.

### Polar ice in proper projection
*Try this with the `polar_watch` prompt: `pole="arctic", date="2025-09-01"`*
> **You:** Show me the current state of Arctic sea ice — and use the right map projection.
The `polar_watch` prompt guides the assistant to use polar stereographic projection:
```
→ get_imagery("AMSRU2_Sea_Ice_Concentration_12km", "2025-09-01",
bbox=[-180, 60, 180, 90],
projection="3413")
[image: Arctic sea ice in polar stereographic — circular view centered on the pole]
→ explain_layer_colormap("AMSRU2_Sea_Ice_Concentration_12km")
Sea Ice Concentration (%):
- dark blue = ~15% (scattered floes)
- cyan = ~40%
- light grey = ~70%
- white = ~100% (solid pack ice)
→ build_tile_url("AMSRU2_Sea_Ice_Concentration_12km", "2025-09-01",
zoom=2, row=0, col=0, projection="3413")
https://gibs.earthdata.nasa.gov/wmts/epsg3413/best/AMSRU2_Sea_Ice_Concentration_12km/...
```
> **Assistant:** With polar stereographic projection (EPSG:3413), the Arctic is shown as a circular view centered on the North Pole — no more equirectangular distortion. The September minimum is clearly visible: solid pack ice (white, 100%) is confined to a shrinking core, surrounded by a wide margin of partial ice (blues and cyans, 15-40%). The embeddable WMTS tile URL is ready for dashboards or reports.
