[Bug 765704] Add tiles.gnome.org as a proxy for third-party tile servers used today

["sysadmin" (GNOME Bugzilla) <bugzilla gnome org>]

Comment # 12 on bug 765704 from Mattias Bengtsson

So we're not allowed to use a proxy in front of Mapbox since that goes against
their ToS.

My current plan is to move to some sort of service definition file that Maps
and other apps can use to get a list of endpoints for the currently used gis
stack.

In the meantime it might make sense to move to a 301 redirect instead of a
proxy though. 

Andrea: if you could copy the current proxy rules, change them to do 301
redirects instead of proxying and put it up under gis.gnome.org/test/... 

That is these endpoints:
  gis.gnome.org/test/geocode/v1/
  gis.gnome.org/test/geocode/v2/
  gis.gnome.org/test/directions/v1/
  gis.gnome.org/test/directions/v2/
  gis.gnome.org/test/tiles/street/v1/
  gis.gnome.org/test/tiles/terrain/v1/
  gis.gnome.org/test/tiles/satellite/v1/
  gis.gnome.org/test/tiles/satellite-streets/v1/
  gis.gnome.org/test/tiles/vector/v1/

Then I could go ahead and test that everything is actually working with the
released versions (by just changing the URLs and do a recompile) and if it all
seems to work we can just go ahead with that.

I'm also waiting for confirmation from Mapbox that this is an ok solution, but
I believe it is.
