Description

Add support for real-time mapping to AP2.
[Let's use this issue as one where we can create a number of sub issues to get to the final goal]

An example work flow is :-
- send back the pictures to APM Planner,
- stitch the images,
- create tiles and
- show on map,
while still flying.

To implement the above there are number of steps required

1) Implement auto-waypoint generation see #139
2) Auto download of Images see xxx
3) Image overlay see ???

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing the linked auto-waypoint work in #139 and breaking the remaining workflow into sub-issues for image download, stitching, tile creation, and map display. Done means the complete mapping workflow operates while the vehicle is still flying.
