Feature Request - parent geography

[dustymc]

A "parent" geography would be useful, particularly for small features (if those should be geography at all - #1366) and those without their own polygons. For example,

https://arctos.database.museum/place.cfm?action=detail&geog_auth_rec_id=1005444

The northern points are almost certainly outside of both the asserted geography and the "parent" county, which does have spatial boundaries.

It might be possible to dynamically derive parent for some entries, but some will be more complicated than scripts can readily handle and will produce unintended results.

Suggest adding "parent geography"

geog_auth_rec.parent_geog_auth_rec references geog_auth_rec.geog_auth_rec_id

which would allow users to assert a "check at least this much" option (and perhaps we can attempt to initially populate it with scripts).

See #3272 (comment) - multiple parentage might be more useful, should we find data to support using it.

This is probably best addressed by #4289
