function that does everything automatically to run local OSRM backend
server, no other setup is required;
easily install osrm.backend on major operating
systems (Linux, Windows, MacOS);
provide wrapper functions to prepare data for osrm
routing;
provide wrapper to start/stop local OSRM backend server.
