LUCENE-7970: Separate bounds computation method into its own interface, in prep
for creating shapes that can't implement intersects()
> Add a Geo3d shape that models an exact circle, even when the planet model is
> not a sphere

> Hi [~Karl wright],
> How circles are currently build do not behave very well when the planet model
> is not an sphere. when you are close to the border in WGS84 you might get
> false positves or false negatives when checking if a point is WITHIN. I think
> the reason is how the points to generate the circle plane are generated which
> assumes a sphere.
> My proposal is the following:
> Add a new method to PlanetModel:
> public GeoPoint pointOnBearing(GeoPoint from, double dist, double bearing);
> Which uses and algorithm that takes into account that the planet might not be
> spherical. For example Vincenty's formulae
> (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vincenty%27s_formulae).
> Use this method to generate the points for the circle plane. My experiments
> shows that this approach removes false negatives in WGS84 meanwhile it works
> nicely in the Sphere.
> Does it make sense?
