hand-made artisinal buffers -- no jsts required

Man, this one is a pain.

[morganherlocker]

@wboykinm yeah, really want to knock this one out, but only so many hours in a day, and algorithms are hard. :/

[arkhemlol]

I'm really really looking for this to be merged!

@morganherlocker Any luck on this PR? I know you're a busy man, but this is going to solve a lot of the turf.buffer issues.

Current implementation is now broken :(

@jdesboeufs say more? Broken how?

[jdesboeufs]

Not really broken if installed standalone, but it can't be installed with other modern turf-* modules without many version conflicts.
I can try to update the dependencies and the code, but I don't know if this branch has a future.

I looked at terraformer.Tools.createCircle but when I ask a 500-meters radius circle, I get a 300-meters one. And moreover this part of the lib will probably become unmaintained.
Finally I ended up with an atomic call to PostGIS ST_Buffer, as I'm on the server side. I hope that one day, a native JS solution will land :)
