Add Support for Bing Tile functions

It would be super helpful to add functionality to support the bing tile functions to this API like Presto has as listed here: https://prestodb.io/docs/current/functions/geospatial.html#bing-tiles
As part of an effort to detect overlap of 2.9 buildings with water globally I find I need to bucket my queries on quadkey. This has worked great, but unfortunately it only works if the dataset already has quadkeys for all features. I would love the ability to generate bing tiles and quadkeys natively in the Sedona API.
The highest priority function for me is the geometry_to_bing_tiles function that produces a list of quadkeys that the geometry passed in touches.
For now I am having to define a UDF to generate quadkeys and call it to convert geometry to quadkeys.
@atiannicelli Do you have an example of the UDF you implement? We can help you import that to Sedona.
once I finalize it and test it I will post what I have
