Support for geodesic lines

[lokus1980]

Hello, as a new feature it would be great if the library would support drawing geodesic lines that follow the curvature of the Earth. Especially useful when connecting two very distant places. In this case, a straight line does not look good. Would be great to have a flag so we can choose between these two line styles. Thanks!

I implemented it via turf-arc. But there are some bugs when crossing the dateline.

Wow, thanks Stephan! It's sad they have bugs, maybe there is some other lib which does it properly. Anyway, no rush, for now I can easily live with straight lines :)

No, it's more a mathematical thing than a software bug. In the meantime you can calculate the geodesic path and add the coordinates as a polyline.
