Fixes #86

This also removes the changelog entry. That would only still be relevant for people making heavy use of a 3 year old version of this package, which are probably few. So better not to confuse people with this in the readme.

I think one of the examples you gave on Zulip:

GDAL.ogr2ogr_path() do ogr2ogr
    run(`$ogr2ogr -f "ESRI Shapefile" outputfile.dbf inputfile.csv`)
end

was also super helpful for others:

Oh my goodness I didn't even notice the first line where you get the ogr path. That is incredibly slick I've never seen someone do that!

Ah yes, thanks, I will add that example as well.

Do you think it would be useful to copy some of this documentation to https://yeesian.com/ArchGDAL.jl/dev/reference/#API-Utilities as well? Some of this is also available through libgdal, though sometimes these are just more convenient.

Yeah, I think so! I've been trying to think through end-to-end workflows more, and these are great

In particular, in combination with yeesian/ArchGDAL.jl#201 to set up wizards for introducing people to the different utilities. (It might also be good in a separate package, just wanted to create ideas for the different directions in which this can be taken.)
