Scene Stacking!

This release introduces a new feature, scene stacking!

The original issue that spawned this entire feature can be seen here: #335
We currently have a decent number of users that loop over all scenes and stack them into a single array manually. This release adds a function to both the AICSImage and all Reader objects that will do that for you, with some additional options as to how to stack.

many_scene_image = AICSImage("many-scenes.czi")
all_scenes_np = many_scene_image.get_stack()
all_scenes_da = many_scene_image.get_dask_stack()
all_scenes_xarray_np = many_scene_image.get_xarray_stack()
all_scenes_xarray_da = many_scene_image.get_xarray_dask_stack()

All of these have a few extra parameters which can be seen in our documentation for generate_stack
