Add step to read bounding box from build_parameters.yml as an area #45

At the moment, the routing engine reads in large files (at the level of states/countries) and we'd like to use a service that extracts one small part of a file to make sure it's not too long to rebuild the tool. https://app.protomaps.com/downloads/osm is such a service https://extract.bbbike.org/?sw_lng=-74.159&sw_lat=40.533&ne_lng=-73.685&ne_lat=40.755&format=osm.pbf&city=whatever&lang=en is another.

We could also download a file containing the bounding box and cut it ourselves before processing, it should be much faster but is more involved.

The GUI allows this now, but this feature would be useful as part of the dockerbuild as well
