Title: GEOMESA-93 Implement KNN as a WPS function

* Add a K-Nearest Neighbors Search that implements a GeoHash-by-GeoHash query strategy.
* Expose the KNN Search as a WPS process.
* Include an example KNN Search based on the location of the White House.
* Add a bounded PriorityQueue implementation.
* Add a method which, given a GeoHash, retrieves a list of all other GeoHashes in contact with it.
* Using the above method, implement a 'GeoHashSpiral' an Iterator that produces GeoHashes in order of distance from a point.
