Allow UTM Zone to use hemispheric designator or latitude band designator
The UTM Zone letter designator can be two different formats. One is the latitude band designator (which is implemented in this library). The other is the hemispheric designator, an N (north) or S (south). Both are valid UTM and both are in present use. When converting to UTM, it would be helpful to be able to choose which method to use.
Example. Latitude: 46.475823 Longitude: -14.250822
UTM (with latitude band): 28T 557511mE 5147189mN UTM (with hemisphere): 28N 557511mE 5147189mN
