Description
Generally, whenever I use mapboxgl, I put a debounce to most of the mapEvents I am using. _(For performance reasons)_. In to-fix I noticed an insane amount of store dispatches on map move (possibly due to this https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-redux/blob/master/src/index.js#L116).?
I propose we allow mapbox-gl-redux to customize the listeners for all the mapEvents. This api would open the possibility of reducing the number of events we dispatch and even allow a wrapper callback around the listener like debounce, throttle etc.
I know `mapbox-gl-redux` tries to transparently reproduce the mapboxgl API. If there is no major concern with this proposal, I can go ahead and cut a PR to implement this feature.

Research direction
Start in src/index.js around line 116, where map events appear to trigger store dispatches, and trace how listeners are registered for mapEvents. Define the callback customization surface for event listeners, including wrappers such as debounce or throttle, while preserving the existing mapbox-gl-redux API behavior. Done means callers can customize listeners and reduce dispatched events without breaking normal event handling.
