Add Script to convert .gdb to geoJSON

[dhruv-1001]

Description

This issue tracks progress on adding script that converts .gdb files to .geoJSON

Implementation Details

1. Define the Script

• Task: Design how the script will work.
• Details: List out how the script will read - parse - convert the .gdb data to required geoJSON. Data to be parse is defined in this issue Village data collection #28.
• Approval: This needs to be reviewed and approved before proceeding with implementation.

2. Add the script & Raise a PR

• Task: Implementing the script
• Details: The script should be able to perform all that is defined in step 1 of implementation details. And the output should be stored inside of <project_root>/geojson-data/
• Dependence: This step is contingent upon the approval of the Script

Expected Outcomes

• Have a script, that can fetch parse data from the data repository, and store it in a meaningful way that can be used by the server, inside of geojson-data folder. Rest of the file structure should be mimicked from the repository the data is fetched from.

@dhruv-1001 I'll try and raise a PR for this, I'm hoping this would work https://github.com/calvinmetcalf/fileGDB.js

@ChakshuGautam https://github.com/calvinmetcalf/fileGDB.js works as expected.
Just one thing, all the GDB FIles will be in the structure of

server/geojson-data/indian_village_boundaries.zip
    uttar_pradesh
        AGRA.zip
        ALIGARH.zip
        PRAYAGRAJ.zip

After which we read and parse the files one by one -> convert it to geoJSON and store it like

server/geojson-data/indian_village_boundaries
    uttar_pradesh
        AGRA.goeJSON
        ALIGARH.geoJSON
        PRAYAGRAJ.geoJSON

Am I right, or do we want the output structure to be different?

Hey @35C4n0r, that's right. You can go on with this.
