Does anyone have an opinion about how I implement this? I think the
most appropriate way will be:

1. rename map_OSM* to map_tile*
2. remove all references to "OSM" in the code
3. add attribution feature to .geo tile definition files
4. remove OSM attribution code; replace with attribution from .geo file
5. create CalTopo .geo file definition files

My reasoning here is that raster tiles are not unique to OSM, so
Xastir's raster tile implementation doesn't need to reference OSM
anywhere but in a .geo tile definition file.
