Another new addition to Tropycal is a Cartopy plotting utility.
For those that want to bypass the default plotting options & directly plot storm tracks on existing matplotlib/Cartopy axes, this new functionality adds a "plot_storm()" method to the axes!

A couple other minor notes:
- multiple JTWC realtime best track data sources experienced outages this summer. Initializing a Realtime object now gives the user an option to pick the source to try & read in.
- Realtime objects now read in invests designated by NHC.
