Issue:
getElevationsAlongPath
It appears this library is missing the getElevationsAlongPath functionality for elevations.

Below is an example of the request:

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/elevation/json?path=36.578581,-118.291994|36.23998,-116.83171&samples=3&key=[YOUR API KEY]

Instead of 'locations' as the parameter, both 'path' and 'samples' parameters are provided instead.

Pull request:
feat: add support for elevation along path
closes #355
