What's Changed
Important Changes in `Media`
* Refactor media to simplify line creation by mhuser in https://github.com/scikit-rf/scikit-rf/pull/727

The Media class has been refactored to simplify the API and avoid confusions related to the impedances. The `z0` property now returns by default the Characteristic Impedance of the media (also available from `z0_characteristic`) if the property `z0_override` is defined, `z0` returns `z0_override` instead of the Characteristic Impedance.

The `embed` argument and the parameters `Z0` (capital) have been deprecated. If the property `z0_port` is defined, all lines will be renormalized from `z0` to `z0_port`, like in a measurement with `z0_port`. Please refer to the [Media tutorial](https://scikit-rf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorials/Media.html) more additional information and a clear explanation of the different between port and characteristic impedances.

New Features
* Add gain properties by keikawa in https://github.com/scikit-rf/scikit-rf/pull/908

New properties have been added to a Network: maximum stable gain (`max_stable_gain`), Maximum available power gain (`max_gain`) and Mason's unilateral gain (`unilateral_gain`)
