Expand most common types of convictions to all of Cook County on map #143

Love the most common types - but is there a reason we can't have the whole county?

We can do this. Just have to update the queries and re-bake the JSON. I'll get on this, though, in my opinion this is non-blocking for launch. It would be easy to update this after the fact.

I ran the numbers for this, and one issue with the suburbs is that it's sort of misleading. There aren't the same numbers of crimes in the suburbs in the suburbs so in many cases, the incidence of the most common charge is only a handful of convictions. Also, there are a number of suburbs where the number of convictions is so low (fewer than 10) that there are multiple charges that all have the same number of convictions.
