radius=0 leads to zero results with PIP #36

Description

@mapsam

When radius is 0, we expect point in polygon style results (ie 1 result if we’re within a single polygon). Right now we get zero results since the query point is a double (lng lat) but by the time we’re comparing the distance from closest_point we’re in integers, which then get converted to a lng lat and can be different than the original query point since it’s an interpolation. This means the distance check looks something like if (0.00011241241 <= 0) { ... } which evaluates to false.

Three possible solutions:

  1. We’ll want to use something other than closest_point for PIP (radius=0) operations
  2. Do all calculations in doubles instead of ints
  3. Instead of using zero (if radius is zero) we use some sort of very small number like if (0.0000234 < 0.5) to catch these instances
