rcoins: Identify Naturally Continuous Lines in a Spatial Network

Provides functionality to group lines that form naturally continuous lines in a spatial network. The algorithm implemented is based on the Continuity in Street Networks (COINS) method from Tripathy et al. (2021) <doi:10.1177/2399808320967680>, which identifies continuous "strokes" in the network as the line strings that maximize the angles between consecutive segments.
