In ggmapcn: Customizable China Map Visualizations

ggmapcn 0.2.0

Added the annotation_compass() function to add a powerful and highly customizable compass/north arrow to maps.
Supports alignment to "grid" north or "true" north via the which_north argument.
Can be easily placed in any corner of the plot panel using the location argument.
Introduced a family of built-in style constructors (compass-styles) for annotation_compass() to support a wide range of visual appearances:
Classic Styles: north_arrow_classic() and north_arrow_solid().
Compass Rose Styles: compass_rose_simple(), compass_rose_classic(), and compass_rose_circle().
Original Chinese-Themed Styles: Added two unique styles, compass_guiding_fish() (Guiding Fish) and compass_sinan() (Sinan), inspired by ancient Chinese navigational instruments to add a cultural touch to maps.
Added the annotation_scalebar() function to add a projection-aware and intelligent scale bar.
The function automatically detects the map's Coordinate Reference System (CRS) to select appropriate units and breaks.
Supports several common styles, including "segment", "bar", and "ticks".
