Adding geodataframe to DataConversion

[hoxbro]

First part (1/2) of fix for https://discourse.holoviz.org/t/small-multiples-aka-facetted-plots/3760/2

This will make it possible to run:

import geopandas as gpd
import hvplot.pandas

countries = gpd.read_file(gpd.datasets.get_path('naturalearth_lowres'))
countries.hvplot(geo=True, by="continent")

I'm actually not sure if cuDF should be added to df_interfaces

I'm also unsure about supporting cuDF or other datatypes. We'll have to get this sorted out before the next release, I'd really like this fix to be part of it.

@philippjfr we had a discussion about this a couple of weeks ago, can you remember what you decided about this? I remember there was a suggestion to move the interface from GeoViews to HoloViews. It would be nice if we could summarize the plan so that someone could pick up that work.

Other than a minor renaming suggestion, this new approach seems a lot more elegant! Looks good to me.
