[WIP] Improvements and features on the shoulders of giants

Dear @daniellee,

thanks for conceiving and maintaining this excellent plugin and bringing Grafana to us in general. As we are into displaying small-sized maps e.g. on [1], we added some useful options along the lines of #177.

The options are called autoPanLabels, autoWidthLabels, showZoomControl, showAttribution and legendContainerSelector, we are describing them in detail at [2].

We believe the options could be helpful to others and might even resolve some of the issues already listed here, so we are humbly asking if you could review them in order to check whether you would be inclined to accept an appropriate pull request for these changes?

With kind regards, Andreas.

Dear Grafana Worldmap lovers,

we just wanted to let you know about the new home [1] we established for the refurbished code base. We renamed the plugin again to grafana-map-panel, so it can be installed side-by-side with the original Grafana Worldmap.

Installation instructions are outlined at [2].

With kind regards, Andreas.

Hi there,

we just wanted to add that we renamed the most recent version of the refurbished code base to Worldmap Panel NG which can now be installed side-by-side of the vanilla Worldmap Panel like

# Install most recent version side by side
grafana-cli \
  --pluginUrl https://github.com/hiveeyes/grafana-worldmap-panel/archive/develop.zip \
  plugins install grafana-worldmap-panel-ng

This should make it more easy for people to install it on their Grafana instances for giving it a try.

With kind regards, Andreas.
