Compute Heading

[b-peri]

Description

This PR introduces compute_heading(), a new function for computing "heading" to movement. Here, "heading" is defined as the signed angle between the animal's forward-facing vector and a reference vector. Following the convention established in our existing vector utility functions, the reference vector is [1, 0] (i.e. the positive x-axis) by default, but this can be changed by passing a 2D vector (as a list, tuple, or numpy.ndarray) to the reference_vector argument.

related to #358 , what are your thoughts on heading in 3D? if you have any, posting here looking for people who might be interested in the option once we start having the first 3D data around

This PR was quite stale, so I put in the work to bring it up to date with the current main, and opened it up as a new PR #376.

I'm therefore closing this one as superseded by #376.
