dist_point_to_segement deprecated in matplotlib 3.1.1

[raphaeldussin]

function is :

def dist_point_to_segment(p, s0, s1):
    """
    Get the distance of a point to a segment.

      *p*, *s0*, *s1* are *xy* sequences

    This algorithm from
    http://geomalgorithms.com/a02-_lines.html
    """
    p = np.asarray(p, float)
    s0 = np.asarray(s0, float)
    s1 = np.asarray(s1, float)
    v = s1 - s0
    w = p - s0

    c1 = np.dot(w, v)
    if c1 <= 0:
        return dist(p, s0)

    c2 = np.dot(v, v)
    if c2 <= c1:
        return dist(p, s1)

    b = c1 / c2
    pb = s0 + b * v
    return dist(p, pb)

do we know the equivalent? or should we just add this piece of code to pyroms?
@kshedstrom what do you think?

The matplotlib deprecated section implies that there are numpy equivalents. See for example https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39840030/distance-between-point-and-a-line-from-two-points. Can you make it work with np.cross?
