Description

This is part 1 for LUCENE-7165. This task will add a GeoEncodingUtils helper class to o.a.l.geo in the core module for reusing lat/lon encoding methods. Existing encoding methods in LatLonPoint will be refactored to the new helper class so a new numerically stable morton encoding can be added that reuses the same encoding methods.
