      $geoNear sorts documents by their distance from a given query point. Conceptually it both:
      1. computes the distance, storing the result in the document metadata
      2. sorts by that distance

      The second step we can already express with $sort $meta.

      Let's expose the first step as a new internal DocumentSource. The syntax might look something like this:

      {$_internalComputeGeoNearDistance: {
        near: <point>,
        key: <fieldname>,
      }}
      

      Then a future ticket (SERVER-58602) can use this to allow $geoNear to execute anywhere in a pipeline.
