Add QtLocation mapping provider repository data

Volker Krause requested to merge vkrause/autoconfig-kde-org:work/vkrause/qtlocation-mapping-provider-data into master

This is meant as a replacement for the built-in default (http://maps-redirect.qt.io/osm/5.8/), which is outside of our control and not even supporting SSL. The content has been copied and changed as follows:

  • All styles we don't use are disabled, if that isn't the case already anyway.
  • All keys not read by QtLocation 5.15 or above are removed to reduce transfer volume. As this will only take effect for new code we don't need backward compat beyond that.
  • The maximum zoom level for the street tiles is increased to 19 to match what is actually provided.

See https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/location-plugin-osm.html

Looking forward this would also allow us to switch to a different raster tile server when necessary without having to touch existing application code.
