add support for GeoJSON in geospatial functions

See original GitHub issue

Currently, only WKT are supported as serializable/deserializable when converting to Geometry objects. However, the API used by Presto to create Geometries also allows for deserialization from GeoJSON, as well. These should be supported in addition to WKT and binary.

Proposing the addition of:

ST_GeometryFromGeoJSON
- Accepts JSON, returns GEOMETRY_TYPE_NAME
ST_AsGeoJSON (deserialization)
- Accepts GEOMETRY_TYPE_NAME, returns JSON

These are complimentary to the FromText/AsText functions, and handle similarly in errors, NULL, etc.

This issue was closed because the OP ended up not needing the functionality, so we didn’t have a good use case for it. Interoperability with Mongo is a compelling case. We can definitely put this in the queue.
