Provide a mechanism for supporting search_api_location

Years ago I was building a geo-aware food discovery service. I toyed with JSON:API and Search API and wrote about it: https://glamanate.com/blog/using-json-api-query-your-search-api-indexes

It would be great to support search_api_location features.

Perhaps we support a specific filter key: geospatial

This filter is expected to be an array which accepts:

lat
lon
radius

This can then set the search_api_location option:

    $location_options[] = [
      'field' => 'latlon',
      'lat' => $latitude,
      'lon' => $longitude,
      'radius' => '8.04672',
    ];
    $query->setOption('search_api_location', $location_options);

The biggest question is determining the field. I cannot remember if latlon is always the field name used or if its dynamic.

I recently came across the need for search_api_location integration on a project, I wonder if there could be an event dispatched in applyFiltersToQuery(), or for that matter, applySortingToQuery() as well, so that the filters and sorts can be altered in event subscribers, and customizations like this could be more easily added. It might be out of scope for this issue, and I can create another issue if it seems warranted.

Created ✨ Dispatch events when processing resource request that allows filters and sorting to be altered Needs work to dispatch events mentioned in #6 and put up MR (needs tests, though).
