### Pull Request Checklist:
- [x] This PR addresses an already opened issue (for bug fixes /
features)
    - This PR will help #1255 
- [x] Tests for the changes have been added (for bug fixes / features)
- [ ] (If applicable) Documentation has been added / updated (for bug
fixes / features)
- [x] CHANGES.rst has been updated (with summary of main changes)
- [x] Link to issue (:issue:`number`) and pull request (:pull:`number`)
has been added

### What kind of change does this PR introduce?

* `nbutils.quantile` has a speed-up of more than 2.5x by a combination
of changes in `nbutils.quantile` and `nbutils._quantile`
* This does not cover `nbutils.vec_quantiles` (used for `adapt_freq`)
but similar principles could be used
* It adds the possibility of using `fastnanquantile` module which is
very fast

### Does this PR introduce a breaking change?
No

### Other information:
* The new low-level function to compute quantiles `nbutils._quantile` is
a 1d jitted version of `xclim.core.utils._nan_quantile`
* Manual benchmarking can be performed in the notebook
`benchmarks/sdba_quantile.ipynb`, attached to this PR.

New features and enhancements
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* ``xclim.sdba.nbutils.quantile`` and its child functions are now faster. If the module `fastnanquantile` is installed, it is used as the backend for the computation of quantiles and yields even faster results. (:issue:`1255`, :pull:`1513`).
