[Imports] Bus stop import in Raleigh area of North Carolina, USA

We are not sure, but the gtfs files we're using have the shapes of the
routes as lines.  It is likely we'll end up manually adding routes, since
automation would create some issues sometimes.
Mapbox map matching might be helpful here, but we haven't looked into it
yet.  We are focusing on the bus stops now.
Thanks,
Leif
