Returns true if this Geometry is an empty geometry. If true, then this Geometry represents an empty geometry collection, polygon, point etc.
SQL-MM defines the result of ST_IsEmpty(NULL) to be 0, while PostGIS returns NULL.
This method implements the OGC Simple Features Implementation Specification for SQL 1.1. s2.1.1.1
This method supports Circular Strings and Curves
Changed: 2.0.0 In prior versions of PostGIS ST_GeomFromText('GEOMETRYCOLLECTION(EMPTY)') was allowed. This is now illegal in PostGIS 2.0.0 to better conform with SQL/MM standards
