Fix sfc_POINT lat/lon transposition in geolocate_radius() and the multi-polygon guard in geolocate_polygon() - #306

sf::st_coordinates() returns columns in (X, Y) = (longitude, latitude) order, but parse_point_radius() assigned element [1] to lat and [2] to lon. As a result, any sfc_POINT supplied to geolocate_radius() / galah_radius() had its coordinates transposed: points with |lon| > 90 (including every point in Australia) error with 'Point location outside of possible range', and points with |lon| <= 90 silently query the transposed location. The existing unit test passed because it constructed its test point as st_point(c(lat, lon)), encoding the same transposition; the test input is corrected here so the expected lat/lon values now prove the right behaviour.
The 'too many polygons' guard counted features with length(query$geometry), which only works for sf data.frames whose geometry column is literally named 'geometry'. For sfc input, and for sf objects with a differently-named geometry column (e.g. 'geom', the common name for layers read from PostGIS/GeoPackage), query$geometry is NULL, the guard never fires, and a multi-feature object falls through to build_wkt(), where the vectorised st_geometry_type() comparison crashes with 'the condition has length > 1' instead of the intended error message. sf::st_geometry() returns the geometry set for both sf and sfc input regardless of column name.

Two runtime-verified fixes to the
geolocate_parsers (galah 2.3.0 / current main), one commit per fix.1.
geolocate_radius()transposes coordinates ofsfc_POINTinputparse_point_radius()assignssf::st_coordinates(coords)[1]to lat and[2]to lon, butst_coordinates()returns(X, Y)= (longitude, latitude). Observed effects on an installed 2.3.0:The existing unit test passed because it constructs its point as
st_point(c(-33.66741, 151.3174))— latitude first — encoding the same transposition. The fix corrects the assignment order and the test's input point; the test's expected lat/lon values are unchanged and now prove the right behaviour.galah_radius()aliases the same parser, so both names are affected/fixed.2.
geolocate_polygon()'s "too many polygons" guard only works for a geometry column literally namedgeometryThe guard counts features with
length(query$geometry). Forsfcinput, or ansfwhose geometry column has another name (e.g.geom, usual for layers read from PostGIS/GeoPackage), that isNULL, the guard never fires, and multi-feature objects fall through tobuild_wkt(), which crashes with the raw R errorthe condition has length > 1(vectorisedst_geometry_type()comparison) instead of the intended message. Fixed by countinglength(sf::st_geometry(query)), which works for bothsfandsfcregardless of column name. Single-feature behaviour is unchanged (verified: same WKT output).Verification
lat/lon(identical to the named-argument control), and all three multi-polygon input forms (sfc, sf-with-geom, sf-with-geometry) produce the intended "Too many polygons" abort.tests/testthat/test-geolocate_radius.Randtest-geolocate.Rboth pass against the patched build (27 tests, 0 failures).R CMD checksuite locally; happy to adjust anything CI flags.Disclosure
