Add color parameter to map_tracks() function in plotting.py

[ecaldon]

Sorry, this is a duplicate of a previous pull request (#563 ) that I accidentally closed when I deleted a repository. It adds a color parameter to the map_tracks() function in plotting.py. Here is the docstring for your convenience:

color : str, optional
Color of all lines. Default is "", which MatPlotLib
defaults as the T10 color cycle.

Incidentally, deleting and reopening seems to have resolved whatever merge conflict there was.

Yes, I forked and merged this pull request from the correct branch this time so probably best I redid it anyways, hopefully saved you a bit of work 😅 Best, Zeke Caldon ***@***.*** SUNY Oswego Class of ‘26 Meteorology Major
