This adds Bing Maps' Aerial tile layer following https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/bingmaps/rest-services/directly-accessing-the-bing-maps-tiles. I created a free Bing Maps account for this which comes with an API key that is used for fetching the metadata document at website load (through a leaflet plugin). The actual tiles do not make use of the API key and are therefore not counted towards any free quota.
Side note: Google doesn't permit to access its imagery outside of their own SDKs.
