Harvest geospatial information

Currently, when we harvest thredds catalogs, we store geo-spatial information into fields of type "double" (west_degrees, north_degrees, etc.). It is better to store this information into fields of type Solr RPT
which will allow more complex and faster geospatial searches.

Now implemented: information is transferred from the north/south/east/west fields into the Solr field "geo" of type "location_rpt".

A conversion script will have to be written to add this information to existing Solr records.
