New module proposal - Rhumb Line

Variations of Rhumb Line implementations.

@turf/rhumb-destination

Similar to @turf/destination, however instead of using the Haversine formula it uses the Rhumb Line path. Can be implemented using rhumbDestinationPoint from geodesy.

@turf/rhumb-bearing

Similar to @turf/bearing, however instead of using the Haversine formula it uses the Rhumb Line path. Can be implemented using rhumbBearingTo from geodesy.

@turf/rhumb-distance

Similar to @turf/distance, however instead of using the Haversine formula it uses the Rhumb Line path. Can be implemented using rhumbDistanceTo from geodesy.

@DenisCarriere I'm gonna work on this. Should I create a branch for each module, or just one is ok?

DenisCarriere commented 7 years ago

They seem pretty easy to implement, one branch should be good enough.

Implemented with PR #728
