This PR improves the GeoParquet specification examples by providing version-specific metadata examples that clearly
demonstrate the differences between GeoParquet 1.1.0 and 1.2.0-dev.

  • Renamed the existing example_metadata.json to example_metadata_1.1.0.json for clarity
  • Added a new example_metadata_1.2.0-dev.json that demonstrates features specific to the 1.2.0-dev version
  • Updated all PROJJSON references to use v0.7 schema

Key Differences in 1.2.0-dev Example

The 1.2.0-dev example demonstrates several important capabilities:

  1. 3D geometry support:

    • 3D bounding box with Z min/max values
    • Z dimension in covering specification
    • 3D CRS (WGS 84 height, CRS84h)
    • Z-aware geometry types (Polygon Z, MultiPolygon Z, Point Z)
  2. Multiple geometry columns:

    • Primary column with full metadata
    • Secondary "points" column with simplified metadata and null CRS
  3. Enhanced metadata:

    • Explicit "counterclockwise" orientation
    • "spherical" edges representation
    • Temporal dimension with epoch value (2022.5)
    • GeometryCollection type support

…-dev

* Rename example_metadata.json to example_metadata_1.1.0.json
* Add new example_metadata_1.2.0-dev.json showcasing 1.2.0-dev features
* Ensure both examples use PROJJSON v0.7 schema
* Include 3D geometry support in 1.2.0-dev example
