Additional tile servers

By default, the osm package configures free servers which can be accessed without an API key. It is possible to configure additional servers. MapTiler, Stadia and ThunderForest offer free tiers for small volume traffic. The API key can be specified via the %k placeholder, which will be retrieved via auth-source-search.
