Make `GeoDataFrame._to_geo` "public"

See original GitHub issue

Currently GeoDataFrame.to_json uses GeoDataFrame._to_geo to get JSON (string) representation of GeoDataFrame.

But GeoDataFrame._to_geo is 'private" (prefixed). So we can get string representation of GeoDataFrame but not dictionary.

Proposition: make GeoDataFrame._to_geo “public”.

Not sure if there are any other differences between these two, but you certainly want to preserve CRS.

They are, one of them I pointed above: GeoJSON puts id property inside properties dictionary but to_json puts it beside properties.

GeoDataFrame.__geo_interface__ is a public API for _to_geo that returns the original dictionary.
