Request Adding Leaflet.TileLayer.MBTiles Plugin Support

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
No. This feature request adds support for displaying raster tile base maps in .mbtiles format.

Describe the solution you'd like

1. Make Leaflet.TileLayer.MBTiles it's own Folium plugin.
2. Put the above plugin on a CDN so users aren't forced to store it locally. The original author's CDN link is broken I think.

Currently, you can use Folium and Leaflet.TileLayer.MBTiles to display .mbtiles format, but it's a bit hacky.

I used roughly the following snippet to override TileLayer._template

    # override defaults to use the plugin
    folium.raster_layers.TileLayer._template = Template(u"""
        {% macro script(this, kwargs) %}
            var {{ this.get_name() }} = L.tileLayer.mbTiles(         <--------
                {{ this.tiles|tojson }},
                {{ this.options|tojson }}
            ).addTo({{ this._parent.get_name() }});
        {% endmacro %}
        """)

   # make a Map with .mbtile basemap 
   m = folium.Map(
        location=[35.650787, -117.661728], 
        tiles='my_tiles.mbtiles', 
        attr=attr
    )

    # add open street map
    layer = folium.TileLayer(
        tiles='https://{s}.tile.openstreetmap.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png',
        name='OpenStreetMap Online',
        attr='&copy; <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright">OpenStreetMap</a> '
             'contributors',
        overlay=True,
        control=True,
        show=False
    ).add_to(m)

    # function to return _template back to default after the fact.
    set_tile_layer_default(layer)

Even then, you have to override TileLayer._template back to it's default before m.save('index.html') for each additional (non-mbtiles) basemap you add.

It would be really nice to:

from folium.plugins import MBTiles

m = MBTiles.Map(
    location = [14.0, 15.0],
    tiles = 'your_tiles_url.mbtiles',
    attr = 'attr text'
)

Describe alternatives you've considered
The only alternative I can see is something like the above snippet. There was some discussion in #351.

Additional context
For those unfamiliar, one open source way to make your own tiles is by using TileMill. TileMill exports the usual {z}{x}{y} directory structure, as well as the Mapbox raster .mbtiles format. Mbtiles are preferable in some cases, because you only have to manage 1 file instead of (no joke) millions of .png files.

Also, it's great when one open source project ties cleanly into another.

Implementation
folium is maintained by volunteers. Can you help make a PR if we want to implement this feature?

I would be happy to write this PR. I have working code which accomplishes the task, just not sure how to best turn it into a plugin.

If somebody could please comment:

1. Is this idea acceptable and feasible?
2. A general best practices and implementation list.

Thanks.

Start by reviewing Folium's existing plugin structure and the TileLayer._template override shown in the issue, then compare the closed pull request 1341. The work is done when Leaflet.TileLayer.MBTiles can be used as a Folium plugin without manually overriding TileLayer._template, and its client-side code is available through a working CDN link.
