match numeric precision to actual precision

Description

Coordinate sets in geometry should not show more decimal digits than the actual precision of the data. Note that fixing this is dependent on adding the relevant metadata to the geometry in accordance with tickets #149 and #150. This rule should be enforced in our data conversion process, i.e., in the source gazetteer xml files, but checking/enforcing should also be made a feature of the GeoEntity? in the first place.

Thanks to Duane Marble for catching this one.

With procedures in place from [531], BAtlas legacy data is preprocessed before upload to ensure compliance with this principle. Programmatic enforcement (for future data upload and through-the-web input) of appropriate limits on the basis of geospatial metadata has been split out to ticket #208.
