Setup base code to expose a C API #3

A C-API would allow the library to be used by many other languages through C-based bindings. Especially, it would also allow MobilityDB to depend on MEOS and use it where appropriate.

Some possibly useful references

to get started on learning how to do this: https://www.teddy.ch/c++_library_in_c/
auto generation of C interface: http://samanbarghi.com/blog/2016/12/06/generate-c-interface-from-c-source-code-using-clang-libtooling/
Also we can always refer to GEOS's code as well.
