[Xastir] Archaic default map

I'll take whatever high contrast, non-detailed map I can get since weather
warnings and such are easier to decern on a simple background.

The online sources for maps are good if I want to zoom in on something but
when looking at the entire US (or more), a simple map is better.

We got a github issue today from someone outside the US who points out that
our default map, the ancient APRSDOS format "worldhi.map," is embarrassingly
obsolete, showing countries that haven't existed in decades (like, say,
the USSR, Yugoslavia, the German Democratic Republic (East Germany)...).
