Add geo-coding support for events and tasks

[kgf]

One possible provider is https://locationiq.org/pricing.
Google is not an option at this time, as they want a large licensing fee if your site is not open to the public.

This also looks like a strong contender

@allanlburns Are you making any progress ? Anything I could do to help ?

Hi Kevin,  Thanks for reaching out! Sorry for the radio silence the last two months--I definitely fell down a Python rabbit hole and have been working on a course with that.  I originally lost momentum working on the geocoding after not being able to set up the environment correctly, which is what you and Sean helped me with the last project night I attended. I just got distracted after that.  Time for me to get back on the horse, I think! I did have one main question--do have a strong preference for the API-based method that we had discussed, or a Gem? I've seen both in the research I did. What would be the tradeoffs for each approach? I'll be traveling the next couple of weeks for training for my new job. Last week I accepted an offer with the German software company Acrolinx and next week flying to Berlin for three weeks of training. I don't know what my days will be like, but if I have anything left at the end of the day, I'll try to work on ReadyResponder. Aside from any questions I have, I'll try to check in with you in about two weeks. Thanks again!

@allanlburns In answer to your question, that may depend on there being a gem available. The gem can often provide a lot of nice DSL syntactic sugar.
