Highlight __geo_interface__ support in Documentation #1424

Description

@kai-tub

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I was not really aware that folium supports to display objects with a __geo_interface__ protocol until today.
I am relatively new to working with geographic data, so maybe it is obvious for other people,
but I was surprised that it worked without any issues.

Describe the solution you'd like
A note in the documentation that the __geo_interface__ protocol is supported with folium.features.GeoJson, which allows for extensive interoperability with various other Python libraries.

Implementation
I am not sure where the best place would be to highlight this feature. Maybe as a note in Quickstart with example usage of GeoPandas? And a note in the GeoJson documentation?

It is an awesome feature, but I feel like it could be easily overlooked (at least from my point of view as a beginner).

PS: Thanks for maintaining this awesome project! 👍
