Upgrade to org.locationtech.jts

[ChristophKaser]

The library com.vividsolutions.jts was moved to org.locationtech.jts. The new maven dependency looks like this:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.locationtech.jts</groupId>
    <artifactId>jts</artifactId>
    <version>1.15.0</version>
</dependency>

Unfortunately, due to fact that the package name was changed, it is not a drop-in replacement and requires code changes to jackson-datatype-jts. This in turn would be a non-backwards-compatible change to jackson-datatype-jts, which might require a new major version?

If desired, I could provide a PR for these changes.

any news on this PR? Quite interesting to update jackson-datatype-jts, as other projects have started to accomplish such tasks (Hibernate ORM with 5.3).

Hey man, if you are not planning to support this repository, can you please add someone of us as admin to update to locationtech?
