Added 'within' query for getting streets within a bounding box

Hi @aaronhourie, an interesting extension of the original interpolation APIs. I'm guessing you have a business need for such a query, if you'd like to chat more about your requirements please send me an email, we have a tool you might find more suitable for the task. |

Some questions about the math here:
- Given the values
minX=-1, maxX=+1, what happens when dividing 0.0 by 2? - Can the brackets be simplified? maybe
(math) BETWEEN x AND y, theWHEREandANDcondition can be independent. - The method is named
WITHIN, but this seems to be anINTERSECTS? ie. the text saysfind all streets which have a bbox which envelops the specified pointbut the input is a box, not a point, the result will contain geometries which 'leak' out of the bounding box? maybe rename the API for clarity?

There is a lot of copying these variables around giving them slightly different names, can we simplify this?

Is there a need to sort the results by distance from the center? I could see users not wanting this or wanting it to be tunable.

👋 I did some awesome work for the Pelias project and would love for everyone to have a look at it and provide feedback.
Here's the reason for this change 🚀
It was difficult to generate a "complete set" of street geometry data based on the
street/near/geojsonAPI endpoint. Thestreet/within/geojsonendpoint allows the full set of streets to be queried for a given area.Here's what actually got changed 👏
api/near.jsfor getting streets within a given area.query/near.jsto perform the query on the SQLite database.Here's how others can test the changes 👀
The API change can be tested by making a GET request to a path like so, adjusting the lat/lon boundaries to work with your loaded data:
/street/within/geojson?topLeftLat=0.0&topLeftLon=0.0&bottomRightLat=0.0&bottomRightLon=0.0
