Check that coordinates of all locations are expected #39

In the meta-data of each population we have a coordinate for the study site (WSG 84). Coordinate locations of all capture locations should be close to these centre points.

This will require creating a file with locations of all populations in /data. We will then need to manipulate spatial points objects. We can work on this together if you don't have experience with this.

Also worth considering, how far is 'too far'? We could go really large (e.g. 100km) to pick up obvious typos.

As suggested by @zuzulaz: These packages may be useful for checking the format of coordinates
