Generic Position serializer

Previously it only worked with JSON, now it works with any format supported by kotlinx.serialization

Ah, maybe that's the reason why the serializers/deserializers in maplibre/maplibre-java#40 look more complicated - because they are not limited to JSON.

It would be consistent to either support any format supported by kotlinx.serialization or only JSON for all model classes. Maybe the code could be somewhat copied from the mentioned PR.

(But the question is, why should one deserialize/serialize GeoJSON to anything else than JSON?)

Agreed (in particular, should support any format supported by kotlinx.serialization unless there's a good reason not to). Should file an issue for the remaining serializers.

I'm also curious, though I guess protobuf and BSON are probably common enough use cases.

Android datastore uses protobuf, and rememberSerializable might too
