Description

Basically don't block geometry loading on overlay content loading. Overlays can be generated with whatever content is available (including parent tile content). This can help navigation without blocking on content loading. Will probably also need a way to determine load progress, then.

Related to #1600.

Research direction

Start by reading the ImageOverlayPlugin entry point and the discussion in related issue #1600. Trace how geometry loading currently depends on overlay content loading. Done should allow geometry to load before overlay content is available and provide a way to determine load progress.
