Map Tags & Use Maps Server (triplea_maps.yml now unused) (#9491) __Always use Maps Server__ Stop reading 'triplea_maps.yml' Specifically instead of downloading the 'triplea_maps.yml' file and parsing it, the front end will instead contact the server and receive a JSON payload that contains the map download list. __Introduce and use map tags__ Map tags are a generic way to add additional meta data to maps dynamically. For example, instead of having a 'category' value specifically enumerated, we instead now have a tag whose key is 'category'. This allows us to have an arbitrary set of meta information without needing to update the front end. __Update server to send 'preview image url' to the frontend__ The server computes the preview image URL to make it easier and more explicit for the frontend. Having the server instead of the client compute the preview image URL also allows for it to be updated in database.
