Description

* The vector tile and mbtiles writing code is copied from Tippecanoe
* jsonpull is copied from Tippecanoe
* The sorting/merging code is derived from Tippecanoe's index sorting, but modified

Either the two projects should ultimately be merged or the shared code should be pulled out into a dependency.

Research direction

Start by inventorying the vector tile and mbtiles writing code, jsonpull, and the sorting/merging code, then compare each with its Tippecanoe counterpart. Determine whether the projects should merge or whether the shared code can become a dependency; done means one agreed reconciliation path is implemented.
