Bug fixes

• Fixed erroneous spelling of "Potsdam" (#1573)

• aeqd: for spherical forward path, go to higher precision ellipsoidal case when the point coordinates are super close to the origin (#1654)

• proj_create_crs_to_crs(): remove elimination of Ballpark operations that caused transformation failures in some cases (#1665)

• createOperations(): allow transforming from a compoundCRS of a bound verticalCRS to a 2D CRS (#1667)

• Avoid segfaults in case of out-of-memory situations (#1679)
