[PROJ] Indian foot

[Javier Jimenez Shaw]

Hi Pierre

There are 4 "different" Indian feet in PROJ, taken from the EPSG I guess:
https://beta.epsg.org/search/by-name?searchedTerms=indian+foot  (select the
"Units" tab. Click on "More" if you do not see it)
The foot you mention [0.30479841] is "Indian foot (1937)"
The other three are:
  Indian foot: 0.30479951024814694
  Indian foot (1962): 0.3047996
  Indian foot (1975): 0.3047995

Looking at the source code I see that the "Indian foot (1937)" is also
defined in ISO-19111

Cheers
