REL: 3.1.0

[effigies]

Preparation for bug-fix release 3.1.0, targeting Monday, April 13.

Pending completion of:

• NF: Adds overlay option in OrthoSlicer3D #850 (Submitter: @rmarkello)
• NF: Conformation function and CLI tool to apply shape, orientation and zooms #853 (Submitter: @kaczmarj)

Please comment to flag any other issues that should be addressed. This is not an especially urgent release, so I'm happy to put it off to accommodate new features that people would prefer to get in sooner than later.

Pre-release checklist

• Review the open list of nibabel issues. Check whether there are outstanding issues that can be closed, and whether there are any issues that should delay the release. Label them!
• Review and update the release notes. Review and update the Changelog file.
• Look at doc/source/index.rst and add any authors not yet acknowledged.
• Use the opportunity to update the .mailmap file if there are any duplicate authors listed from git shortlog -nse.
• Check the copyright year in doc/source/conf.py
• Refresh the README.rst text from the LONG_DESCRIPTION in info.py by running make refresh-readme.
• Check the dependencies listed in setup.cfg (e.g., install_requires, options.extras_require) and in doc/source/installation.rst and in requirements.txt and .travis.yml. They should at least match. Do they still hold? Make sure nibabel on travis is testing the minimum dependencies specifically.
• Make sure all tests pass (from the nibabel root directory): pytest --doctest-modules nibabel
