/** Calculates the distance between two geographical locations.
  * There are three variants:
  * greatCircleAngle: calculates the distance on a sphere in degrees: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great-circle_distance
  * greatCircleDistance: calculates the distance on a sphere in meters.
  * geoDistance: calculates the distance on WGS-84 ellipsoid in meters.
  *
  * The function calculates distance between two points on Earth specified by longitude and latitude in degrees.
  *
  * Latitude must be in [-90, 90], longitude must be [-180, 180].
  *
  * Original code of this implementation of this function is here:
  * https://github.com/sphinxsearch/sphinx/blob/409f2c2b5b2ff70b04e38f92b6b1a890326bad65/src/sphinxexpr.cpp#L3825.
  * Andrey Aksenov, the author of original code, permitted to use this code in ClickHouse under the Apache 2.0 license.
  * Presentation about this code from Highload++ Siberia 2019 is here https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/files/3324740/1_._._GEODIST_._.pdf
  * The main idea of this implementation is optimisations based on Taylor series, trigonometric identity
  *  and calculated constants once for cosine, arcsine(sqrt) and look up table.
