Description

I figured out that the name of this class is misleading as the implementation doesn't perform the intended smoothing.

In order to solve this issue, I propose to:

1. deprecate the "SmoothingBicubicSplineInterpolator" class
2. create a "BicubicSplineInterpolator" class (similar to the above class but with the useless code removed)
3. remove the "SmoothingBicubicSplineInterpolatorTest" class
4. add a "BicubicSplineInterpolatorTest" with essentially the same contents as the above one

Then I would also add a new "SmoothingPolynomialBicubicSplineInterpolator" where I used the "PolynomialFitter" class to smooth the input data along both dimensions before the interpolating function is computed.

Does someone object to these changes?
