[FEATURE][processing] Algorithm to find an unknown layer's projection

If you have a layer with an unknown CRS, this algorithm gives a list
of possible candidate CRSes which the layer could be in.

It allows users to set the area (and corresponding CRS) which they know
the layer should be located near. The algorithm then tests every CRS
in the database to see what candidate CRSes would cause the layer
to be located at that preset area.

It's much faster than it sounds!! (just a couple of seconds)

This algorithm computes a new vector layer with the same features of the input layer, but with an additional attribute. The values of this new attribute are computed from each feature using a mathematical formula, based on te properties and attributes of the feature.
qgis:findprojection: >
This algorithm allows creation of a shortlist of possible candidate coordinate reference systems for a layer with an unknown projection.
The expected area which the layer should reside in must be specified via the target area parameter. Additionally, the coordinate reference system for this target area must also be set.
The algorithm operates by testing the layer's extent in every known reference system and listing any in which the bounds would fall near the target area if the layer was in this projection.
qgis:fixeddistancebuffer: >
This algorithm computes a buffer area for all the features in an input layer, using a fixed distance.
