Still a bit of cleanup to do, but this PR merges: * the layer formerly known a…s "gpx" (really gpx / kml / geojson) with * the layer formerly known as "mvt" (really pbf / mvt but without the ability to place spatially in a z/x/y tile coordinate). These features now live on a single layer called "Custom Map Data" (yes we will support multiple custom layers soon) and it has a settings screen (like #5207 screen added for custom background imagery). Users can choose a local file, enter a url to a remote file or a url template for a vector tile source: <img width="700" alt="screenshot 2018-08-21 18 52 26" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/38784/44433262-938b4480-a573-11e8-8240-59f94b9e3681.png"> It currently converts the vector tile data to geojson on the fly and renders just like the old gpx layer did (better styling coming soon too)! <img width="700" alt="screenshot 2018-08-21 18 34 50" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/38784/44433313-c9c8c400-a573-11e8-9135-7b8e8bb00d39.png"> <img width="700" alt="screenshot 2018-08-21 18 36 26" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/38784/44433318-cf260e80-a573-11e8-879b-55c5672e52c1.png"> HUGE thanks to @vershwal for her Google Summer of Code work that made this possible and @geohacker for being an awesome mentor 🙌

better styling coming soon too

but I think efforts stopped after that PR was merged.

I’m also using MVT for a data layer in Adressen in Brandenburg als Hintergrund-Ebene für JOSM, because it’s easy to generate and can be hosted for free as static website. I would love to have it in iD as well.
