Description

### Prerequisites

- [x] I have read [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/EFForg/rayhunter/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md)

### What problem does this feature solve or what does it enhance?

Added heuristic

### Proposed Solution

By using `Timing Advance`, to calculate the cell tower distance (~70 m to 100 km),
we can at least rule out impossible towers and by comparing to the nearest cells, the TA should be the same, or very similar. A statistical distribution for the TA's in the cell can be acquired and IC that provide a TA outside 2σ, should raise a 🚩.
