merge TiMVT and TiFeatures project

[vincentsarago]

TiMVT and TiFeatures shares a lot of in common and don't have huge difference in requirements (morecantile/pyproj for timvt and pygeofilter/geojson-pydantic for tifeatures).

With @bitner we are thinking that we could merge both project into one project. I'm not quite sure we would want to have a unique python package for both features/mvt yet. This could be achieved by having namespace module (e.g tipostgis.features, tipostgis.mvt).

Pro

• reduce code duplication
• easy mvt/feature application setup
• Factory option will let the user choose if it wants feature and mvt endpoint

Cons

• add dependencies (morecantile/pyproj or pygeofilter/geojson-pydantic)
• might add complexity in the CollectionLayer class

--

Final application should have those endpoints:

• {endpoint}/: landing page
• {endpoint}/api.json: openapi
• {endpoint}/api.html: swagger html page
• {endpoint}/conformance: OGC conformance
• {endpoint}/collections: List of collections (Table + Functions)
• {endpoint}/collections/{collectionId}: Collection metadata
• {endpoint}/collections/{collectionId}/queryables: Collection queryables

Features

• {endpoint}/collections/{collectionId}/items: Collection Features (with query options)
• {endpoint}/collections/{collectionId}/items/{itemId}: Collection Feature

MVT

• {endpoint}/collections/{collectionId}/tiles/{tileMatrixSetId}/{tileMatrix}/{tileRow}/{tileCol}: Collection MVT tiles
• {endpoint}/collections/{collectionId}/tilejson.json: Collection Tilejson document
• {endpoint}/tileMatrixSets: List of available TMS
• {endpoint}/tileMatrixSets/{tileMatrixSetId}: Metadata about a specific TMS

maybe we should wait for https://ogcapi.ogc.org/tiles/

I absolutely love this idea. In the project where I used tifeatures we ended up realizing close to the end that we would also want timvt for snappier visualization, so I think packaging everything in the same code base is really good. Could I suggest tivector as a name?
