Add support for reference information on map (coastlines, place labels)

To implement this we need:

• Add the needed data to the style (via mapbox studio)
• Create the data selector control for the map (Use projection selector for inspiration)

[nerik]

I figure this should be added to the map in the dataset exploration section, alongside other map controls:

Overall design questions:

• Is there a risk of confusion with the projection selector button? This planet icon pretty much already looks like a "basemap selector" icon, but maybe that's just me
• What are the context layers we want to add?
  • Place labels:
    • Should the layer mentioned above appear on top of the raster layer(s) (I'm guessing yes, same as the existing boundaries)
    • Labels will require some styling in Mapbox Studio. Who's owning that? (I can, but we'd get better results from a designer :)
  • Do we want to add administrative boundaries beyond countries/adm0? (I reckon adm1 would be useful at the very least for US States)
  • Add a graticules layer? (would also need design in MB Studio)
  • Any use for a basic topography + bathymetry basemap?
    • For UI considerations: take into account that this would replace the satellite basemap, while the labels or graticules would be added on top of the satellite basemap.
• Light/dark background variations? (impacts color of labels and boundaries too)
• Should we also add this to the Analysis AoI selection map?

As usual, I suggest we gather to define what's a good MVP for a first iteration and start building.

Capturing the solution @nerik and I discussed for the MVP:

• The previous "Projections" action will become "Map Options", keeping the Globe icon for the button, but its scroll-able dropdown will be redesigned to harbor three groups of map-related options:
  • Style (exclusive option selection list):
    • Default light
    • Default dark
    • Satellite
  • Details (On/off togglable options list):
    • Labels
    • Boundaries
    • ...
  • Projection (exclusive option selection list)
    • Albers
    • Mercator
    • Globe
    • ...
• Labels will be slightly styled to match the app typeface family ("Open Sans");
• Other togglable options such as the Graticules, and maybe Fires and Watersheds, can be added under "Details" in the future;
• It would be nice to include these Map Options on the analysis map as well, yes.

Is this related to #405 ?

[nerik]

@aboydnw Same data, different feature (this one's only for reference, not for creating AoIs)

[danielfdsilva]

@nerik With #458 merged, should we consider this done? Is there some other things we want to track from here that merit a new issue?

[nerik]

@danielfdsilva Nope, marking this as done. Thanks for flagging.
