ST_AsMVTGeom: Uniformize multigeometry return types

Reported by: Algunenano Owned by: Algunenano
Priority: medium Milestone: PostGIS 2.5.2
Component: postgis Version: 2.5.x -- EOL
Keywords: Cc:

Description

Depending on the result of lwgeom_make_valid, ST_AsMVTGeom might return a single geometry (polygon or line) or a multigeometry (multipolygon or multiline) formed by only 1 geometry.

I plan to modify this behaviour for the sake of consistency. Since it's really hard to determine if the input was a multipolygon / polygon once you accept geometry collections, I'm going to choose to return POLYGON(geometry) in all cases where the final result is a MULTIPOLYGON((single geometry)), and the equivalent for MULTILINE.

This change only affects 2.5 and trunk as 2.4 had a different behaviour.
