#' @title remove outliers from a raster image
#' @description the function allows to automatically set to NoData eventual outliers present in a
#'   raster single- or multi-band object (or file). For each band, quantiles of the distribution
#'   of pixel values are computed using `raster::quantile`, and the values falling outside the
#'   limits set with the `tails` argument are set to NoData in the output
#' @param in_rast `*raster` object (single layer or stack), or filename of a raster file
#' @param tails `numeric array (2)` quantiles of the distribution of pixel values used for the cut.
#'  For example, setting tails = c(0.05, 0.95) will set to NoData all pixels below the 5th and
#'  above the 95th percentile,  Default: c(0.02, 0.98)
