Description
### Add support to read/write Geometries in Tiny Well-Known Binary format
Format specification: https://github.com/TWKB/Specification/blob/master/twkb.md
Examples at PostGIS: https://postgis.net/docs/ST_AsTWKB.html
This format reduce significantly the size of WKB geometries, could be useful managing big datasets with geometries.
Thanks

Research direction
Start by reading the linked TWKB specification and comparing the PostGIS ST_AsTWKB examples. Determine the project's geometry read/write entry points and tests before planning support; done means geometries can be read and written in TWKB with the expected compact representation.
