#' Convert longitude and latitude to H3 cell representations
#'
#' Convert geographic coordinates (longitude and latitude) into H3 cell
#' representations at a specified resolution, with different output formats
#'
#' @template x
#' @template lon
#' @template lat
#' @template resolution
#' @template new_column
#' @param h3_format Character. The format of the H3 cell index: `string` or
#' `bigint`
#' @template conn_null
#' @template name
#' @template overwrite
#' @template quiet
#' 
#' @details
#' The three functions differ only in the output format of the H3 cell index:
#' * `ddbh3_lonlat_to_h3()` returns H3 cell indexes as strings (e.g. `"8928308280fffff"`) 
#' or as unsigned 64-bit integers (`UBIGINT`)
#' * `ddbh3_lonlat_to_spatial()` returns H3 cells as spatial hexagon polygons
