Build layer selector #8

This is a pretty big feature - needs planning and mock-up. This is in response to the next biggest need of this interface: to showcase the many map layers available through the MR Data program.

  1. A more sophisticated layer selector. More map services are available and we need a way to help the end-user choose layers other than the ones that are in the initial default view. The map interface at https://mrdata.usgs.gov/general/map.html shows more of the choices. A comprehensive list of services is at https://mrdata.usgs.gov/wms.html Note that one service may have many layers.

The service catalog includes tags and also is organized in a hierarchy - we essentially need to build a viewer to help a user explore this catalog and allow them to select services to add to the interface.
