Display protected areas as points at lower zooms #56

Protected areas (parks, nature reserves, forests, conservation areas, etc.) are fundamental organizational blocks of trail management. Typically, all trails in a park are managed by the same authority (who determines official vs. unofficial trails). OpenTrailMap should make it easy to navigate these areas.

Changed the issue name to represent a narrower task. Displaying POIs for protected areas would help people navigate to their area of interest.

To limit clutter, we can filter polygons by size before we reduce them to points. However, this appears to be blocked by https://github.com/onthegomap/planetiler/issues/961.

Turns out we should use min_size for this instead of min_tile_cover_size. Thanks to @msbarry for the explanation!
