Swap to returning Tuples instead of `LibGEOS.Point` for anything GeoInterface related

[rafaqz]

This is likely related to the memory leak too. We are creating LibGEOS Point objects for every single point we read in a geometry, but they're incredibly expensive and allocate objects that need to be finalized:

LibGEOS.jl/src/geos_types.jl

Lines 29 to 50 in 7ad3b3c

	mutable struct Point <: AbstractGeometry
	ptr::GEOSGeom
	context::GEOSContext
	# create a point from a pointer - only makese sense if it is a pointer to a point, otherwise error
	function Point(obj::Union{Point,GEOSGeom}, context::GEOSContext = get_global_context())
	id = LibGEOS.geomTypeId(obj, context)
	point = if id == GEOS_POINT
	point = new(cloneGeom(obj, context), context)
	else
	open_issue_if_conversion_makes_sense(Point, id)
	end
	finalizer(destroyGeom, point)
	point
	end
	# create a point from a vector of floats
	Point(coords::Vector{Float64}, context::GEOSContext = get_global_context()) =
	Point(createPoint(coords, context), context)
	Point(x::Real, y::Real, context::GEOSContext = get_global_context()) =
	Point(createPoint(x, y, context), context)
	Point(x::Real, y::Real, z::Real, context::GEOSContext = get_global_context()) =
	Point(createPoint(x, y, z, context), context)
	end

Which leads to insane performance like this:
JuliaGeo/GeometryOps.jl#32

74 allocations to get the area of an 11 point geometry.

We also call getPoint :

LibGEOS.jl/src/geos_functions.jl

Lines 1516 to 1546 in 7ad3b3c

	# Call only on LINESTRING, and must be freed by caller (Returns NULL on exception)
	function getPoint(
	obj::Union{LineString,LinearRing},
	n::Integer,
	context::GEOSContext = get_context(obj),
	)
	if !(0 < n <= numPoints(obj, context))
	error(
	"LibGEOS: n=$n is out of bounds for LineString with numPoints=$(numPoints(obj, context))",
	)
	end
	result = GEOSGeomGetPointN_r(context, obj, n - 1)
	if result == C_NULL
	error("LibGEOS: Error in GEOSGeomGetPointN")
	end
	Point(result, context)
	end
	# Call only on LINESTRING, and must be freed by caller (Returns NULL on exception)
	function startPoint(
	obj::Union{LineString,LinearRing},
	context::GEOSContext = get_context(obj),
	)
	result = GEOSGeomGetStartPoint_r(context, obj)
	if result == C_NULL
	error("LibGEOS: Error in GEOSGeomGetStartPoint")
	end
	Point(result, context)
	end
	# Call only on LINESTRING, and must be freed by caller (Returns NULL on exception)

We should replace all of this with just getting two floating point values in the simplest way possible, and getting them all at once for whole LinearRing/LineString in GI.getpoint(linestring)

[evetion]

After #191 it's at least type stable, but indeed, much copying is done.

[rafaqz]

I think it can be 50x faster, for linestrings anyway

[evetion]

Sure, but not sure whether this is the right place to do so. Libgeos should be consistent. What could work is making a single efficient copy to a GI Polygon/Ring for Ops to work on?

[rafaqz]

We already did this for ArchGDAL for the same reason.

We only need to be consistent with GeoInterface in GeoInterface methods.

The idea is to do what your saying, but how could you do that in GeometryOps without a LibGeos dep?

The only way I can see to do it is here in GI.getgeom on the iterator over LineString

[evetion]

I like to keep packages internally consistent as well. I missed the ArchGDAL change, let me check that.

Maybe this isn't needed with all the other activities.
