Right now, if we try to query a StreetMaps VIew location and it is not available, Google Map crashes (it returns a null value when null is not allowed).

A utility library could query the general availability of a location by calling the Street Maps View API, and handle it at a different level (returning an exception, a boolean, an enum with the availability of the location...)

See the following branch for a draft solution: https://github.com/googlemaps/android-maps-utils/tree/feat/added_street_view_util

Would you folks be ok with this utility supporting Coroutines? Would you prefer any other async mechanism?

This might be of particular interest to developers who use Street View in Germany. The full guidance is at https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/287628235 and this utility helps implement the recommended mitigations by making a free request to check for the availability of Street View at the desired location, before requesting a Street View panorama for it.

@kikoso I saw that you have a draft PR #1200 based on that branch, so tagging it here.
