                                            https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/ios-sdk/reference/objc/Classes/GMSPath.html *_Nonnull path, BOOL geodesic)

Returns whether `point` lies inside of path. The path is always considered closed, regardless of
whether the last point equals the first or not.

Inside is defined as not containing the South Pole -- the South Pole is always outside.

`path` describes great circle segments if `geodesic` is YES, and rhumb (loxodromic) segments
otherwise.

If `point` is exactly equal to one of the vertices, the result is YES. A point that is not equal
to a vertex is on one side or the other of any path segment -- it can never be "exactly on the
border".

See `GMSGeometryIsLocationOnPath()` for a border test with tolerance.
