Replace direct smoothing code by pure Python
Compare changes
Beginning with 2nd June, only the "Single Sign On" option for login to the GitLab web interface will be possible. If you don't have an MPCDF wide second factor so far, please get one at our SelfService (https://selfservice.mpcdf.mpg.de). The GitLab internal second factor will not work.
This gets rid of smooth_util.pyx and replaces it by a pure Python implementation that seems to be slightly faster for the tests I have done so far.
Since smooth_util.pyx was the last Cython code in Nifty, I have also removed all mentions of Cython from documentation, requirements files etc.
