Database: update to EPSG v12.054

[rouault]

Note that I didn't bother implementing the new transformation method "NTv2 & Coordinate Frame rotation (geocentric domain)" that is used by the new transformation "Amersfoort to ETRS89-NLD [AGRS2010] (10)" EPSG:11397 (https://epsg.org/transformation_11397/Amersfoort-to-ETRS89-NLD-AGRS2010-10.html)

@himsve This adds a record for HREF2025A_NN2000_EUREF89.bin. I assume you'll add a GTG grid for it ?

The backport to 9.8 failed:

To backport manually, run these commands in your terminal:

# Fetch latest updates from GitHub
git fetch
# Create a new working tree
git worktree add .worktrees/backport-9.8 9.8
# Navigate to the new working tree
cd .worktrees/backport-9.8
# Create a new branch
git switch --create backport-4720-to-9.8
# Cherry-pick the merged commit of this pull request and resolve the conflicts
git cherry-pick 130581b204ae1cfa2c91380d039b4cf0272f1530,be91dffc7bea8fd2e947502ecc1b89ec96ade7ff
# Push it to GitHub
git push --set-upstream origin backport-4720-to-9.8
# Go back to the original working tree
cd ../..
# Delete the working tree
git worktree remove .worktrees/backport-9.8

Then, create a pull request where the base branch is 9.8 and the compare/head branch is backport-4720-to-9.8.

That's a pity because we use that method in the Netherlands to free the transformation from the limitation of the bounds of +proj=hgridshift. An user can seemlessly transform features inside and outside the area of the GeoTIFF, since the Helmert transformation makes sure the grid is zero on average and the grid is faded out to zero to the outer edges of the grid. I believe this is the proper way to use horizontal grid shift files and everyone should consider to fade out grid files to zero at the outer edges. So it would be worth adding this new EPSG transformation method to PROJ.

So it would be worth adding this new EPSG transformation method to PROJ.

To be clear, as this is only used for that single transformation for now and there are already a number of alternative options for Netherlands transformation, I didn't feel it was a priority to spend GDAL sponsorship money on that (which is what mostly funds my work on EPSG updates)
