FR: Export distanceToSegment from @turf/point-to-line-distance

[mryellow]

distanceToSegment is not exported from @turf/point-to-line-distance.

This function can be handy for walking along a line determining distances, while also determining which segments points are nearest.

Hi @mryellow. Would using segmentEach with pointToLineDistance meet your needs?

[mryellow]

Ended up stepping through with segmentEach and nearestPointOnLine like the geodesic code-path in @turf/point-to-line-distance.

Still, someone else might like that planar method within distanceToSegment.
