Bug#993518: osmcoastline: Does not work with projections other than WGS84

Dear Maintainer,

As reported by Jochen Topf on the Debian GIS list:

"
 I just released a new version 2.3.1 of osmcoastline which contains an
 important fix:

 ==
 Fix axis order problem with GDAL 3: In GDAL 3 the axis order for WGS84
 changed from (lon, lat) to (lat, lon)! So we need to use the magic
 "CRS84" instead which does the same thing in GDAL 2 and GDAL 3. This is
 an important fix, without it osmcoastline doesn't work with GDAL 3 when
 using any output SRS other than WGS84.
 ==

 Without this fix osmcoastline does not work in Debian Bullseye if you
 are using any projection but WGS84, this means the especially that the
 popular Mercator projection does not work.

 Sorry I only noticed that now due to insufficient automatic tests. 

 It took me a day to find the problem, but the fix is quite easy. The
 release contains a few more things (including better tests), but if you
 only want a backport of that one fix:
