Add support for Murmurations API #181

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I'm always frustrated when there are many disconnected maps.

Describe the solution you'd like I could access POI from Mykomap via the Murmurations API or map: https://murmurations.network/

Describe alternatives you've considered

Transiscope is an existing map aggregator, which doesn't (yet) support Murmurations. https://assemblee-virtuelle.github.io/transiscope-en/#/carte/@45.98,0.18,5z?cat=all

Additional context I have recently added Murmurations to the https://transitiongroups.org/api/ and found it a fairly easy task, with good support from the Murmurations team.

Hi @samuk. Agree that this is a good idea. We have had on and off discussions with the Murmerations team for quite a while and attempted an integration in an earlier release. Agree that this is a good time to take another look. Watch this space.

Great!

Murmurations do seem to be gaining some adoption/interest in the https://www.collaborative.tech/ (CTA) group. At least in the conversations happening here: https://www.hylo.com/groups/collaborative-technology-alliance/ (these conversations are available to orgs who've signed the pledge)

Have you considered joining CTA? There's a range of interop/ API/ / schema /aggregator conversations happening there that I find interesting.
