this PR rewrites some older code in a clearer way, which opens it up for extension.
in particular issue #96 could benefit from this refactor
some notes on what this part of the code does:
[]byte{}
IEEE 754 binary representation
and truncate them to 6 bytes each, which is a nice tradeoff of precision vs. size (this consumes 12 bytes total)the subject of this PR is mainly to make the operations on the metadata byte more obvious and open them up for extension.
I didn't add new tests since https://github.com/pelias/pbf2json/blob/master/encoding_test.go seems to cover this sufficiently
Hey @paulmach if you get a second could you please do a quick review?
