Add option to not cross dateline #36

Though great circle lines are defined by being the shortest distance between two points, I think this library could also allow users to draw geodesic lines.

I suggest adding a boolean property in Arc options called shortestPath. Default will be true and will produce normal great circle lines. False will draw a line from start point to end point in a west to east direction.
