initial version to open source the Isochrone API

[karussell]

This was already announced a long time ago some other things are moving now and so this might not be the latest and greatest solution, but we have the plan to improve this afterwards step by step :)

TODOs

• rename package stuff from 'reach' to 'isochrone'
• write tests for error messages and codes
• include documentation (WIP) Isochrone documentation #1303
• dropwizardify dropwizardifying of isochrone #1333
• make UI working too e.g. either via separate asset endpoint or as separate application? Create simple UI for Isochrone API #1453
• make polygon creation faster as creating the points is already super fast! later

This code has been working quite well for us so far, thanks so much! Do all five of these steps on the to-do need to happen before this can be merged into the project? How much information do you want documented? It seems like ReachServlet is an excellent contained example of how to use and generate a full isochrone.

Great to hear this!

Not finally decided

How much information do you want documented?

Also not sure yet. But I want some more javadocs, docs in Java and for the web API.

Now that we have merged the dropwizard branch ... @michaz do we have code where this is already dropwizardified? If not, would you @willcohen have interests in contributing some :) ?

Have created #1333 with work from @michaz.
