Description
As a user I would like to be able to upload large datasets directly from different data sources without converting them to GeoJSON. It would be great if I could use a GeoPackage, shapefile, FGDB, SQLite or even PostGIS as the upload data source. GeoJSON is quite inefficient especially with large datasets.
One option might be to integrate the tilesets-cli pipeline with [ogr2ogr](https://gdal.org/programs/ogr2ogr.html), which is an open source ETL CLI tool for converting data, supporting a huge number of vector datasets out of the box.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the tilesets-cli upload pipeline and the proposed ogr2ogr integration described in the issue. Compare the requested GeoPackage, shapefile, FGDB, SQLite, and PostGIS sources with the current GeoJSON-only workflow; done means supported sources can be uploaded without manual GeoJSON conversion.
