Add easy option to toggle business listings at zoom 15+ #80

In the v3 schema we introduce many more business listing POIs at zoom 15+ (earlier in the data, later in the style). Right now they are text only labels, but soon they could also include artwork icons.

We could consider a config option to:

This would reduce the visual noise at this zoom – which is now more comparable to Apple Maps or Google Maps while before it was more for a pure data viz use case.

In thinking about the "control plane" for the style library, the parameters are basically

1) light/dark/monochrome mode 2) nolabels layers, labels layers (for sandwiches), or labels-only (for overlays) 3) localized display language, or even two

Stretch ideas 1) label density 2) contrast 3) POI density ("detail")
