NEW FEATURES

• ddbs_boundary(): returns the boundary of geometries.

• ddbs_create_conn(): new convenient function to create a DuckDB connection.

• ddbs_drivers(): get list of GDAL drivers and file formats supported by DuckDB spatial extension.

• ddbs_join(): new function to perform spatial join operations.

MINOR CHANGES

• All functions now have a parameter quiet that allows users to suppress informational messages. Closed #3
