Description
Currently, if a point is added, removed, or moved, you have to recluster all the points, which can be expensive. For mapbox/mapbox-gl-native#5814, it should be possible to update the clustering to account for dynamically changing points.

Research direction
The issue names no files or tests. Start by tracing supercluster's existing clustering API and how points are loaded, then define how add, remove, and move operations should update clusters without reclustering every point; done means those changes are supported while preserving correct clustering.
