Update libsharp

[zonca]

is it possible to update this repository to have the last version of libsharp?

I'm planning to do this, but I don't know yet how exactly it is going to happen.
The latest version has a slightly changed interface and some functionality is no longer present, so I think this requires a major version bump, or maybe even a change in name. I'm not sure yet whether I should open a new project for this or just put it into a new branch of the existing repository. Comments are welcome!

Development of libsharp has shifted to https://gitlab.mpcdf.mpg.de/mtr/libsharp, but I plan to sync the Github repository when releases take place.

I think the best would be to port the Python interface to gitlab and then close this repository (archive it) and just have 1 repo.

That would be convenient, but there is much work by @dagss in the current version which is used by many people, and which absolutely needs to be kept visible.
I will provide a Python interface for the new version.

I possible, I'd like to switch from cython to pybind11 for the Python interface.
Would the interface that is currently part of pyHealpix (https://gitlab.mpcdf.mpg.de/ift/pyHealpix) be OK? Then I'd just copy the relevant parts over...

Yes, pybind11 would be better

There is now a first version of a Python interface at
https://gitlab.mpcdf.mpg.de/mtr/libsharp/tree/add_python

At the moment, you still have to set sharp_libpath by hand at the top of setup.py, if the sharp library is not in the system's search path. I'm not sure how this is done properly.

Also, the whole "darwin" section is probably completely broken...
