Support for offline maps in .osm.pbf format #7875

Autopsy does currently only support raster tiles as offline maps (either .zip or .mbtiles, see docs). Raster tiles have some major disadvantages:

High storage consumption
Almost unavailable on the internet, except behind pay walls
Not easy to generate/render from vector tiles by oneself

It seems to be way more common to share offline map data via vector tiles, e. g.:

It would be nice to have support for publicly available map data in .osm.pbf format.
