Description

Implement morphological dilation after GRIDobj.dilate. From TopoToolbox: "dilate is a simple wrapper around imdilate that handles NaNs." We could probably add a morphological dilation to src/morphology. We still don't have a great solution for handling NaNs (#20), but we could do that either with a wrapper in libtopotoolbox or in the packages.

Research direction

Start by reading the existing code under src/morphology and the referenced TopoToolbox GRIDobj.dilate behavior. Resolve how NaNs should be handled, including the relationship to issue #20 and whether the wrapper belongs in libtopotoolbox or a package. Done means morphological dilation is implemented with an agreed NaN behavior.
