Re-add population density layer, use actual data #9

I think I omitted this from the React + TopoJSON + webpack mega-branch. Let's re-add it.

The original goal is to have a map layer, which will color the map regions/polygons by population size. Also, on that note, it might be cool to have a population density metric, since that's sometimes correlated with spread of disease?

Yep, here's a mock w/ a population density layer: https://projects.invisionapp.com/share/QX6AM8HV4#/screens/139863674

The region schema in majicbox has geo area, but not population. I have a CSV of this data in my email... I'll upload the data after confirming that it's public, then we can add the field to the schema and update the import code.
