Feature Request: Outline color for buildings

[jwass]

Description

Currently, buildings have a fill color, but no external line color (or it's the same as the fill). When there are multiple adjacent buildings, it makes it seem like there is one building but actually they are different.

Example: https://explore.overturemaps.org/#18.29/59.437463/24.746154

But once I click I can see the smaller section that is its own building.

Would be great for there to be a slightly different color to see building outlines.

This can be achieved by adding a fill layer that only has a colored outline. A couple things to note - this adds a lot of visual information to the map. Now each building and building_part essentially has an outline at the ground level. In addition, the overlap/outline thickness is a little finicky - at some pitches/bearings, the outline appear to disappear due to the zoom and element overlap.

Maybe we can do something akin to what @eti7075 suggests- but only when zoomed in a lot. That would prevent information overload and if somebody needs to see the building outline footprints, they can always zoom way in.

@jwass would you mind taking a look at the latest canary build and see if the new styling updates address this issue for you? A lot has changed in the intervening weeks...
