Feature: Function to enable adding GEE assets and metadata

[edwardpmorris]

It would be great to have a helper for creating metadata and uploading GEE assets (featureCollection, Image, ImageCollection), that links to the resourcewatch API.

For example, tiled images need to be added as a GEE ImageCollection and then the resulting GEE asset added as a dataset/layer to the RW API. LMIPy facilitates making the dataset and layer defintion and upload manifest, reusing parameters from both.

• Ideally so as not to include to much 'bloat' in LMIpy this could be based around the creation of a JSON GEE upload manifest (with required and suggested fields).
  • important settings such as the pyramidingPolicy could be automatically set so as to reduce errors
  • https://developers.google.com/earth-engine/image_manifest
• This could be linked to LMIpy dataset/layer dictionaries, i.e., mapping of fields.
• The upload task could then be created using CLI earthengine.
