6cb326f153 Update utils to do linear transformation of polygons
Brings in https://github.com/alphagov/notifications-utils/pull/889/files

At the moment, we are not doing any transformation of features before
applying geometric algorithms to them. This is, in effect, assuming that
the earth is flat.

This new version of utils implements the transformation of our polygons
to a Cartesian plane. In other words, it converts them from being
defined in spherical degrees to metres.

For the admin app this means we need to convert places where the code
expects things to be measured in degrees to work in metres instead.

49195cb0d3 Rename constants to populations
This is a better name for the module because it’s:
- not just constants, there’s a method in here now
- only stuff to do with populations, not other kinds of constants
