Change :geom and empty column names to :geometry

[rafaqz]

The default gdal geometry column name :geom is now in conflict with the GeoInterace.jl default of :geometry and julias tendency to spell things out. We have GeoInterface.geometrycolumns for packages, but its clunky for interactive use. Users want to just get the geometry column from a data frame in the normal dataframe syntax, with e.g. df.geometry and currently they are left guessing which package uses which name.

The fact that empty names are allowed is also a problem for users.

So I'm proposing we switch both :geom and empty names to :geometry.

JuliaGeo/GeoInterface.jl#164

Are we able to get a consensus on this? I think this would be good to standardize as early on as possible.

I think we just need a PR

I've read the discussions etc, and am supportive of this. Can we make sure the implementation allows users to opt-in/out of it?

I guess we can have a geometrycolum keyword with :geometry as the default?

So are we just adding an option to rename the geometry column in:

ArchGDAL.jl/src/tables.jl

function Tables.schema(

A decision was made to standardize geometry name in GeoDataFrames.jl... this issue can be closed.
