Massive shoutout to AVee for making some huge optimisations in BeaconDB's map generation code, not only fixing map updates (it was crashing on the new server) but cutting down processing time from ~1 hour to **a few minutes**!

You should now see much more detail when zoomed out, and I've added some filters to help cleanup some submissions from planes and GPS spoofing. Also, map tiles no longer use Cloudflare's CDN.
