Merge places when multiple places are displayed on the same "tile" #2

The original data is GPS-based but our representation will use kind of "tiles". Thus multiple places can be in the same "tile", they should be merged.

It might be a good time to distinguish between data loaded from external sources and an internal model that can be easily tinkered with. Reloading all the places/manors data is too long to do it anytime.

Looks like some places have both a village and a church (like St Something), I'm not sure which one should be preferred. Perhaps keep the church as a settlement?

After checking the data more thoroughly, the current structure is not right. In fact a manor may have multiple places, the 'head of manor' being the main one. So instead of selecting places based on 'tiles', it would be better to select on manor existence, then create place when having at least one manor on the tile.
