Description
We added this for `LatLonPoint` in #8125 ... I think we could maybe re-use the same best-first search for the 3d case too?

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reading the LatLonPoint nearest implementation from #8125 and the existing Geo3DPoint entry point. Determine whether the same best-first search approach applies to the 3D case; done means Geo3DPoint.nearest is added with behavior consistent with the existing LatLonPoint implementation.
