## Did you read the Contributor Guide? - Yes, I have read [Contributor Rules](https://sedona.apache.org/latest-snapshot/community/rule/) and [Contributor Development Guide](https://sedona.apache.org/latest-snapshot/community/develop/) ## Is this PR related to a JIRA ticket? - Yes, the URL of the associated JIRA ticket is https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SEDONA-498. The PR name follows the format `[SEDONA-XXX] my subject`. ## What changes were proposed in this PR? This PR adds Spheroidal support for `ST_Buffer`. Functions as follows, - Uses `ST_BestSRID` to determine the optimal SRID based on the geometry's extent and location. - Transforms the geometry to the selected SRID for buffering, defaulting to WGS 84 (SRID 4326) if no SRID is set. - Applies standard planar buffer operation in the chosen coordinate system. - Transforms the buffered geometry back to its original SRID, or to WGS 84 if the original SRID was not set. - Behaves similar to PostGIS's `ST_Buffer(Geography)`. ## How was this patch tested? - Passes new and existing tests ## Did this PR include necessary documentation updates? - Yes, I am adding a new API. I am using the [current SNAPSHOT version number](https://github.com/apache/sedona/blob/99239524f17389fc4ae9548ea88756f8ea538bb9/pom.xml#L29) in since `vX.Y.Z` format. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
