Intelligently choose a centroid to minimize over dateline transmissions given latlong box #269

@colinmegill ---

I've just spent a couple hours with Leaflet.Geodesic plugin. I'm fairly convinced now that this will not be a simple fix. My suggestion is to shelve this. There is a bigger reason why however. If you look at a zoomed map near the South American equator for Zika, you'll see all the lines are nearly straight. This should be resolved per #279. We should go to Bezier curves or the like. In doing so, we can address this current issue. What do you think?

This is (indirectly) resolved by #330. Being able to pan left or right fixes this.

Closed by #330.
