geo/geomfn: implement ST_Union({geometry,geometry})

[Oliver Tan]

Implement ST_Union on arguments {geometry,geometry}, which should adopt PostGIS behaviour.

Observers: Please react to this issue if you need this functionality.

For Geometry builtins, please do the following:

• Ideally add a relevant helper function in pkg/geo/geomfn (parse and output related functions can go in pkg/geo). Add exhaustive unit tests here - you can run through example test cases and make sure that PostGIS and CRDB return the same result within a degree of accuracy (1cm for geography).
  • When using GEOS, you can reference the C API for which functions are available. Unfortunately, Windows is not currently supported when using GEOS.
• Create a new builtin that references this function in pkg/sql/sem/builtins/geo_builtins.go. Note that we currently do not support optional arguments, so we define functions that have optional arguments once without the optional argument (using the default value in the optional position), and once with the optional argument.
• Modify the tests in pkg/sql/logictest/testdata/logic_test/geospatial to call this functionality at least once. You can call make testbaselogic FILES='geospatial' TESTFLAGS='-rewrite' to regenerate the output. Tests here should just ensure the builtin is linked end to end (your exhaustive unit tests go the above mentioned packages!).
• Ensure the documentation is regenerated by calling make buildshort. You can also play with it by calling ./cockroach demo --empty afterwards.
• Submit your PR - make sure to follow the guidelines from creating your first PR.

You can follow #48552 for an example PR.

The following additional guidance has been issued on implementing this function:

Implemented by GEOS.

This cannot currently be implemented, since CRDB does not support an aggregate function, i.e. ST_Union({geometry}), and non-aggregate function with the same name (different args). See #53127 for removal.
