Thanks to Preston Timmons for the bulk of the work on the patch, especially
updating Django's own test suite to comply with the requirements of the new
runner. Thanks also to Jannis Leidel and Mahdi Yusuf for earlier work on the
patch and the discovery runner.
Refs #11077, #17032, and #18670.
The first try to solve the Python 3 GIS encoding/decoding issue
was too naive. Using decode() on all read strings is bound to fail
as soon as a non-ascii string is concerned.
This patch is a little more clever, leaving ascii decoding when
plain ascii strings are expected, and allowing to specify a custom
encoding in DataSource hierarchy.
* All C API method explictly called from their prototype module, no longer imported via *.
* Applied DRY to C pointer management, classes that do so subclass from `GDALBase`.
* `OGRGeometry`: Added `from_bbox` class method (patch from Christopher Schmidt) and `kml` property.
* `SpatialReference`: Now initialize with `SetFromUserInput` (initialization is now more simple and flexible); removed duplicate methods.
* `Envelope`: Added `expand_to_include` method and now allow same coordinates for lower left and upper right points. Thanks to Paul Smith for tickets and patches.
* `OGRGeomType`: Now treat OGC 'Geometry' type as 'Unknown'.
Fixed#9855, #10368, #10380. Refs #9806.
