converting GTFS SharedStreets matcher format

[kpwebb]

@invisiblefunnel just adding this to following up on our discussion about GTFS ingest.

Goal: take a GTFS file and convert to a stream of lat/lon/time points for each trip to send to SharedStreets Matcher (my crude attempt at this using Partridge)

Follow up:

• explore if/how to interpolate time for non-timepoint stops. Matcher can ingest interpolated points, but we'd need to be thoughtful about how we generate statistics from interpolated and non-interpolated data. Example code above interpolates times, but flags timepoint stops in the optional event parameter

• how do we bundle GTFS data to ship to matcher? Could be one stream for all the trips that gets pushed up to the API... just need to think through workflow

Thanks, @kpwebb. I'll take a look soon and post back with thoughts.
