Area public-facing place and use mix

Place Search accepts a buyer-defined circle, rectangle, or geocodable locality, supports cursor pagination, and returns stable place IDs, names, category IDs and labels, chain identity, coordinates, and address geography; Place Details adds record dates, recorded closure date, hours-derived open status, and unresolved closed or duplicate flags.
