Description
Similar to `SimpleGeoJSONPolygonParser` for creating `Polygon` objects from GeoJSON, it would be helpful to have a `SimpleWKTParser` for creating lucene geometries from WKT. Not only is this useful for simple tests, but also helps for benchmarking from real world data (e.g., PlanetOSM).

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reading the existing SimpleGeoJSONPolygonParser mentioned in the issue and the attached LUCENE-8538.patch. Determine the WKT shapes and Lucene geometry objects the SimpleWKTParser must support, then verify that parsed WKT can create Polygon objects for simple tests and real-world benchmarking data such as PlanetOSM.
