To return correct results on a spatial query, rectangle geometries must
be defined in counter-clockwise order [1]. This changeset adds a small
sanity check to before_index when we are dealing with a Polygon geometry
that has 5 coordinate pairs. Shapely is used to generate a LinearRing
from the polygon coordinates and check if they are ccw. If not, they are
reordered and a new polygon is generated so the WKT sent to Solr is
properly ordered.
The GeoJSON template used for extents in the base spatial harvester has
been also updated to define the coordinates counter-clockwise.

When the 'ckanext.spatial.search_backend' config option is set to
'solr', the extension will index geometries stored in the 'spatial'
extra on the spatial field of the Solr index (named 'spatial_geom').
This is done on the 'before_index' extension point.
Also, when doing a query, if the same config option is in place, the
necessary fq parameter will be set to pass the spatial query to Solr.
Some common problems:
* Whitespace, tabs, line feeds and plus signs: should be handled by
float()
* Text: log error and skip creation of spatial extra
* Same set of 2 coords for extent: create point instead of polygon
Note that the bbox values are stored as they are in the bbox-xx-yy
extras
The 'guess_resource_format' function looks for common patterns in popular
geospatial services and file extensions. It just looks at the provided URL,
it does not attempt to perform any remote check. By default, it will use the
mimetypes module if no match was found before to try to guess the format.
On the previous version, all resources in documents of type 'service' were
queried to see if they were actually WMS. This is no longer the case,
but services flagged as 'wms' can be verified if the following setting
is set to True: ckanext.spatial.harvest.validate_wms
Some improvements on the endpoints that return the contents of the
harvest objects:
* Nicer URLs with redirects to the old ones
* Returning the raw harvest object content is available on the main
harvest extension, so just redirect there
* Support for showing the original document of a harvest object, if
present
* Suport for defining a custom XSLT for the HTML view, via
ckanext.spatial.harvest.xslt_html_content
ckanext.spatial.harvest.xslt_html_content_original

The import CLI reruns the import stage for the last current objects, so
when running it, the previous objects don't need to be changed. Any
date check is overridden to force the update of the package.
This can be set instance wide on the ini file with
ckanext.spatial.harvest.continue_on_validation_errors
or per source, adding continue_on_validation_errors=true to the source
config.
You don't need to create a 'harvest' sysadmin user any more.
By default this will be the internal site admin user. This is the
recommended setting, but if necessary it can be overridden by
the `ckanext.spatial.harvest.user_name` config option, eg to
support the old hardcoded 'harvest' user
