Bing Maps Decompression Algorithm - Python

Description

• Bing Maps compresses their polygon information.
• Their example decompression algorithm is unfortunately only available in C# (go figure): https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/bingmaps/spatial-data-services/geodata-api#decompression-algorithm
• This is the working python equivalent.
• To use it, you send only the compressed data and not the number of polygons with comma.
