Clarify that current CrossTrackDistance uses spherical (Haversine) earth model, add Ellipsoidal (Vincenty) version

One approach would be:

  1. Deprecate cross_track_distance in favour of cross_track_distance_haversine
  2. Add cross_track_distance_geodesic (I think we have all the necessary pieces between geo and geographiclib_rs)
  3. Note the advantages / caveats related to WGS-84 (specifically: most WGS-84 coordinates won't be accurate to less than 1 m anyway)
