Very large download size of the git repo about thermosteam

[yoelcortes]

Hi Francesco, thanks for noting this. Yes! The repo is huge mostly because, historically, thermosteam incorporated all the data from thermo due to some problems with simply importing the data from thermo. Now all the data is imported from chemicals, a package that exposes just the databanks and functions for better code-reuse.

I am planning to remove the history before August 2020, but want to do so after the review (just in case reviewers would like to see the commits).

Edit: I'll keep this issue open until I remove old history.

Thanks!

Hi Francesco, I found and easy solution on the user-side to clone the repository within seconds and added a note on it in the "README" file and the documentation (https://thermosteam.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Installation.html). The idea is just to clone the last 100 or so commits using "git clone --depth [depth] [url]". I'll go ahead an close this issue, but let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks,
