Remove gdalUtilities or make_transition in v0.8.0?

[mhpob]

The gdalUtilities package, and previously the gdalUtils package, are used in one place in the deprecated (and warned for removal) make_transition. The sf package has a gdal_utils function which would allow the same access to gdal's gdal_rasterize functionality without the added dependency.

make_transition warns that it will be removed in the "next version". Is this referring to v0.8.0? If not, it may be worth doing the light refactoring to drop gdalUtilities since a large push for 0.8.0 (my fault on that one) is dependency reduction and this follows that theme.

See #174 for previous discussion.
