Description

Rectangle class is the only geometry class that do not extend LatLonGeometry. This is because we have an specialise query for rectangles that works on the encoded space (very similar to what LatLonPoint is doing).

It would be nice if Rectangle could implement LatLonGeometry, so in cases where a bounding box is part of a complex geometry, it can fall back to Component2D objects.

The idea is to move the specialise logic in Rectangle2D inside the specialised LatLonBoundingBoxQuery and rename the current XYRectangle2D to Rectangle2D.
