Description

Support minimum SQL/MM GeoSpatial functions as seen in Prestodb.
https://prestodb.io/docs/current/functions/geospatial.html

Since Esri is also developing GeoSpatial functions for Hive, supporting minimum ones (as in Presto) are enough for Hivemall.

We can use geometry-api-java for the underlying library.
