Side panel instead of popup #21

Does anyone have strong feelings to keep the data inside a popup? Or could we move this to use a side panel (which gets updated on hover or on click).

Why? Having a lot of data inside a popup gets super crowded and hard to handle very quickly.

For our use cases we don't have our properties optimized the same way one would do so for a basemap, but instead have quite a few and longer properties.

I need the popup for maputnik, which is the main reason I moved this library here. Having said that, if you want to create a configuration to disable popup (maybe already exists) and enable sidebar, I have no objections. I.e. keep this package backwards compatible.
