Minimap

[Bonkles]

The minimap is now available using the hotkey forward slash /.

The border has been updated a bit since v1 to soften its edges.

Its operation is nearly the same as the old one- except that on pan, the viewfield doesn't update.

I'd like to reopen this because I think having the viewfield rectangle stay fixed while the imagery moves under it is a pretty important feature - this allows the user to actually use the minimap to focus on some part of the map.

• fix viewfield rectange

minimap v1

minimap v2 beta

Also noticing some minor visual issues:

• Locator overlay texture disappears sometimes? It might be the code that removes locator overlay when map is loaded (this is a thing that should happen on the main map only)
• Actually we should probably scale down all the textures used? This was an issue with the old map too. Basically - we are displaying the overlay images that are designed for a normal sized map. This image shows kind of what I mean:

I fixed this viewfield issue sometime around 3cbb638

Fixed this in 061854d by just.. always rounding up to the next integer zoom instead of rounding to nearest. This results in always fetching slightly sharper images than we need, rather than sometimes displaying blurry images. We'll see how this performs.
