Add an extra route that returns the distance between two stations

simonprickett commented 2 years ago

Add an extra route to the Flask backend that uses the Redis GEODIST command to return the distance in miles between two specified stations.

It should be at /api/distance/<first_station_name>/<second_station_name>/<distance_unit>.

Documentation for the GEODIST command can be found here: https://redis.io/commands/geodist
