Add support for versatiles

[mfbehrens]

versatiles is a FLOSS software stack to generate and serve vector maps. They use their own tiles format, which seems to be "better" (probabely smaller and faster to read)

versatiles spec

They have several servers, one is written in rust, which depends on the versatiles-lib.

Probably a very big project, but might be manageable since it can just depend on the versatiles-lib.

that's a tile container spec, not a tile spec. They are using shortbread - so most likely its the same MVT tiles. While I'm all for supporting cool tech, maintaining code is not free - i.e. each line of extra code has cost - so there has to be a good reason to add it - i.e. a lot of datasets are distributed in it plus a lot of tools exist for it. How does it differ from pmtiles?
