* Remove spherical root/soma from morphology representations and logic.
* Replace `sample_tree` with `segment_tree`, which represents sample points in pairs and allows the representation of detached branches and cable segments.
* Remove sample point properties and predicates.
* Remove `cv_policy_flag::single_root_cv` as somata with a single attached dendrite will have a representation in the morphology of a single branch.
* Remove `arb::math::{volume/area}_sphere`, which are no longer being used.
* Remove spherical root special cases from `embed_pwlin` and `place_pwlin` objects.
* Add textual representation of `mnpos` in morphology exception text.
* Rename `sample_tree_from_swc` to `segement_tree_from_swc` and remove any special casing for one point somata.
* Remove `msample` and `mbranch` types.
* Update unit tests and python wrapper to reflect the changes.
