Support HGT for offline hillshading

[ztNFny]

Unlike mapsforge vtm currently supports only online-sources for hillshading (e.g. MapilionMvtActivity.java). It'd be nice to have support for HGT format hillshading information to enable offline hillshading as well

VTM does not support currently Hillshading from digital elevation model data like HGT format. That works in Mapsforge with a different engine, processing bitmap images (mapsforge/mapsforge#923).

It could work with a new offline bitmap tile source, with bitmap tiles generated from the hillshading data.
(code exists in Mapsforge)

This can be combined with any existing map source, like when using online hillshading bitmap tile source.

I copied lots of mapsforge code and build a HillshadingTileSource

First idea. Maybe some improvements and it could be implemented in vtm.

Nice work. I was also considering to leverage OpenGL ES shaders for hill shading but I have not made progress yet.

VTM hillshading from HGT digital elevation model data is implemented in pull request:

• Hillshading from HGT digital elevation model data #1189

• Implemented by Hillshading from HGT digital elevation model data #1189.

Thank you!!!
I didn't find time yet to try it out. But reading through the code , it seems a way more clean and performant then the TileSource I wrote (wrote copied snippets together that were mostly written by you).

well, I guess everything I know about Java so far, I learned by reading your code ;)
