Show sparsity patterns of sparse matrices or write them to image files.

Example:
```python
import betterspy
from scipy import sparse

A = sparse.rand(20, 20, density=0.1)

# betterspy.plot()
# set attributes on gca()
# plt.show()
# or directly

betterspy.show(A)

betterspy.write_png(
    "out.png",
    A,
    # border_width=2,
    # border_color="red",
    # colormap="viridis"
)
```

:-------------------:|:------------------:|
no colormap          |  viridis           |

There is a command-line tool that can be used to show
[matrix-market](https://math.nist.gov/MatrixMarket/) or
[Harwell-Boeing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harwell-Boeing_file_format) files:
```
betterspy msc00726.mtx [out.png]
```
See `betterspy -h` for all options.
