New GIS Functiontliy, PostGIS Compatible Behavior, Improved Test Coverage & Accuracy

• Dremio version 23.1.x is now supported (the 0.8.x version set)
• Added support for the following GIS functions:
  • ST_AsBinary
  • ST_AsEWKB
  • ST_GeomFromEWKB
  • ST_ConcaveHull (2 variants)
  • ST_Simplify
  • ST_IsSimple
• Most of the functions have moved to use Dremio's internal null handling to simulate PostGIS like behavior for null function arguments.
• The geometery's SRID is now properly passed as part of the (E)WKB output of most of the functions (aggregate functions are yet to be fixed)
• Functions using multiple Geometry arguments will now fail if Geometries state different SRIDs (aggregate functions are yet to be fixed)
• Different complexity values are now set in the some of the functions, signaling heavier compute costs to Dremio.
• Improved test coverage. Tests also now verify null inputs and SRID mismatchs.
• ST_Centroid bugfix
