Chris Hill-Scott c0742fe83d Pass polygons through if they’re small already ...

If a polygon is smaller than the largest polygon in our dataset of
simplified polygons then we’re only throwing away useful detail by
simplifying it.

We should still simplify larger polygons as a fallback, to avoid sending
anything to the CBC that we’re not sure it will like.

The thresholds here are low: we can raise them as we test and experiment
more.

Here’s some data about the Flood Warning Service polygons
