Description

Hey guys!

As the Kotlin Multiplatform PR is now canceled because `maplibre/spatial-k` is now available as multiplatform, we should discuss about how to continue with this repository/library.

spatial-k provides us the geometry models, and also a lot of (better and more) turf tools.

From my perspective we have following solutions:
1. Keep this library and continue working on
2. Keep this library, but remove the turf module
3. Move the GeoJson part to maplibre-native (like in iOS)
4. Use spatial-k's geometry objects instead of this library in Maplibre native for Android (maybe later also for iOS?)
5. .... something else?

Note: *With removing I mean a secure way to don't use this anymore in future. Deprecation, breaking changes and so on are important!*

Research direction

Start by reviewing the repository's current GeoJson and turf responsibilities alongside the available spatial-k library. Compare the listed continuation options, including migration and deprecation implications, and document the maintainers' chosen direction. Done means the repository path and any required transition plan are agreed.
