A port of geographiclib in Rust

This is still an early stage work in progress, if you need something that works I found these bindings to be usable and fast.

This is a 1:1 port of the python implementation, which strictly resembles the C++ one, but it's more readable for me.

Both the inverse and direct algorithms are implemented, but they seem to be 3 times slower than the rust bindings of the C implementation on my machine, but I think there is room for improvements.

Since this is mostly a proof of work, the main.rs just runs both the aforementioned geographiclib bindings and the ones implemented in this crate a lot of times with the same parameters, and prints the execution times.

To run the benchmarks:

cargo run --release
