Description of proposed changes

Adds a gallery example showing how to reduce irregular bathymetry observations
with pygmt.blockmedian before interpolating them with pygmt.surface.

The example uses the built-in bathymetry sample dataset and compares the reduced
observations with the resulting grid.

Fixes #1352

It seems the -C option is not aliased in PyGMT yet. Would you like to add it in a separate PR?

thanks for pointing this out; I’ll keep this PR focused on the gallery example and leave the alias for a separate contribution.

This example already looks good, but we need to implement the -C alias before merging this PR.

I think we need to explain the meaning of the argument "d".
