[Tile-serving] [osm2pgsql-dev/osm2pgsql] Use spheroid instead of sphere for spherical_area() (PR #2470)

Use spheroid instead of sphere for spherical_area() calculation. This might be a bit more expensive to calculate but is nearer to the default that PostGIS ST_Area returns when called with a geography and no parameter. The old behaviour was using the use_spheroid = false version of ST_Area.

See https://postgis.net/docs/manual-3.5/ST_Area.html
