Components: Query Engine

Fix For: 8.11
Implement [
ST_Transform|http://postgis.org/docs/ST_Transform.html] system function. This
would be used to transform geometry between different coordinate systems. This needs
SPATIAL_REF_SYS table and a supporting library.
There are a couple of options for implementing this:
*
http://trac.osgeo.org/proj4j/ - Port of the C library used by PostGIS. Fewest
dependencies and should keep us close to PostGIS in capabilities. There will be a little
boilerplate to interface with JTS.
*
http://docs.geotools.org/latest/userguide/library/referencing/index.html - GeoTools
referencing module. I think we would need to develop a simple plugin to interface with our
SPATIAL_REF_SYS table. GeoTools is active and has good docs, but brings in a lot of
dependencies.
