 - `MorphologicalFilterTask` adapted to work on boolean values.
 - Added `temporal_subset` method to `EOPatch`, which can be used to extract a subset of an `EOPatch` by filtering out temporal slices. Also added a corresponding `TemporalSubsetTask`.
 - `EOExecutor` now has an option to treat `TemporalDimensionWarning` as an exception.
+- String representation of `EOPatch` objects was revisited to avoid edge cases where the output would print enormous objects.
