This drops the ability to link a DataFrame in-place. The only API change is to remove the
copy_featuresoption tolink_df(). The corresponding test was removed as well.link_df()now wrapslink_df_iter(), with some basic (and hopefully well-optimized) one-time Pandas operations on the input and output. This code is not very optimized, but it is lightweight and hopefully avoids the present N^2 performance bug.Does this close #294 ? Probably, but some simple performance scaling checks would be wise. I'll see if I can get around to it.
