WIP: Support 100km precision and using centroid for latitude band letter resolution.

[DanielJDufour]

Changes:

• you can now pass in 0 for the accuracy value into forward and this will give you the MGRS string at 100km accuracy
• you can now pass in a third parameter (useCentroid) into forward, which will return an MGRS string using the centroid of the resultant square (not the original latitude/longitude) for determining the Latitude Band Letter.

Open to comments, suggestions and input :-)

@calvinmetcalf and @ahocevar , open to your thoughts :-)

[calvinmetcalf]

so what is the tl;dr of the issue, that certain software calculates from the origin but others from the centroid ?

[DanielJDufour]

@calvinmetcalf, yes. That's correct.

You introduce code and complexity for only one (very) special / peculiar use case. Not advisable for a general purpose library ...

[tonyVeco]

I don't know if it is possible, but as it is a special case, you could maybe name it as an independent library (S2-MGRS could it be?), so that the standard version would be not affected by any change/update. :)

[calvinmetcalf]

we probably need a check for a boolean being passed here, in which case that value will be swiched to the useCentroid and accuracy set to 5

Thanks for the comments everyone. I did some more research into how the latitude band letter is determined in the Sentinel 2 titling grid. It appears that the band letter is based on the first point in the polygon representing the MGRS 100km grid cell and not the centroid or center point of the cell. They just both happen to lead to the same conclusion quite often. My recommendation for people trying to determine a Sentinel 2 Tile based on a latitude/longitude is to create a separate library. Thank you for your patience while I investigated this matter. I'll submit a separate PR for adding the ability to get the 100km MGRS Grid Cell by passing in an accuracy of 0.
