gdt 8e22eec829 geography/py-proj: Update to 2.6.0
This is a version which requires proj 6, vs a version that cannot work
with proj 6.  It is likely quite different as the old package was old.

Upstream NEWS is missing.

Summary is:

  many minor enhancements and bugfixes

  adapt to changes in proj (if you don't understand proj, this is hard
  to use anyway)

  add Geod class

The Proj class can convert from geographic (longitude,latitude) to native
map projection (x,y) coordinates and vice versa, or from one map projection
coordinate system directly to another.
The Geod class can perform forward and inverse geodetic, or Great Circle,
computations. The forward computation involves determining latitude,
longitude and back azimuth of a terminus point given the latitude and
longitude of an initial point, plus azimuth and distance. The inverse
computation involves determining the forward and back azimuths and
distance given the latitudes and longitudes of an initial and terminus point
