feat: Geospatial Data Type and GIS Function support for milvus (#44547)
issue: #43427

This pr's main goal is merge #37417 to milvus 2.5 without conflicts.

# Main Goals

1. Create and describe collections with geospatial type
2. Insert geospatial data into the insert binlog
3. Load segments containing geospatial data into memory
4. Enable query and search can display  geospatial data
5. Support using GIS funtions like ST_EQUALS in query
6. Support R-Tree index for geometry type

# Solution

1. **Add Type**: Modify the Milvus core by adding a Geospatial type in
both the C++ and Go code layers, defining the Geospatial data structure
and the corresponding interfaces.
2. **Dependency Libraries**: Introduce necessary geospatial data
processing libraries. In the C++ source code, use Conan package
management to include the GDAL library. In the Go source code, add the
go-geom library to the go.mod file.
3. **Protocol Interface**: Revise the Milvus protocol to provide
mechanisms for Geospatial message serialization and deserialization.
4. **Data Pipeline**: Facilitate interaction between the client and
proxy using the WKT format for geospatial data. The proxy will convert
all data into WKB format for downstream processing, providing column
data interfaces, segment encapsulation, segment loading, payload
writing, and cache block management.
5. **Query Operators**: Implement simple display and support for filter
queries. Initially, focus on filtering based on spatial relationships
for a single column of geospatial literal values, providing parsing and
execution for query expressions.Now only support brutal search
7. **Client Modification**: Enable the client to handle user input for
geospatial data and facilitate end-to-end testing.Check the modification
in pymilvus.

Go MilvusClient

license Go Reference

Go MilvusClient for Milvus. To contribute code to this project, please read our contribution guidelines first.

Getting started

Prerequisites

Go 1.24.4 or higher

Install Milvus Go SDK

  1. Use go get to install the latest version of the Milvus Go SDK and dependencies:

    go get -u github.com/milvus-io/milvus/client/v2
    
  2. Include the Go MilvusClient in your application:

     import "github.com/milvus-io/milvus/client/v2/milvusclient"
    
     //...other snippet ...
     ctx, cancel := context.WithCancel(context.Background())
     defer cancel()
    
     milvusAddr := "YOUR_MILVUS_ENDPOINT"
    
     cli, err := milvusclient.New(ctx, &milvusclient.ClientConfig{
     	Address: milvusAddr,
     })
     if err != nil {
     	// handle error
     }
    
     // Do your work with milvus client
    

API Documentation

Refer to https://milvus.io/api-reference/go/v2.5.x/About.md for the Go SDK API documentation.

Code format

The Go source code is formatted using gci & gofumpt. Please run make lint-fix before sumbit a PR.
