proj_factors(): accept P to be a projected CRS (fixes #2854)
Updated doc: Starting with PROJ 8.2, the P object can be a projected CRS, for example instantiated from a EPSG CRS code. The factors computed will be those of the map projection implied by the transformation from the base geographic CRS of the projected CRS to the projected CRS. The input geodetic coordinate lp should be such that lp.lam is the longitude in radian, and lp.phi the latitude in radian (thus independently of the definition of the base CRS, if P is a projected CRS).
