Description
## Motivation
instead of mbtiles, pmtiles can be run from a cloud-web-space without any additional service. This would make it more easily to use vector-tiles for small projects. It`s a bit like geojson, but it is also scalable for a large dataset like mbtiles does.

Research direction
Start by reading the issue and the linked Protomaps article to understand the requested PMTiles source. Compare that request with the project’s existing MBTiles support, then define the relevant entry points and tests before implementation. Done means mapbox-gl-js can use PMTiles as a source for vector tiles, with behavior verified by tests.
