Version mkgmap-r4786 was committed by gerd on Wed, 23 Jun 2021

merge from low-res-opt branch
- new options --simplify-lines, --simplify-polygons, and --improve-overview
- better handling of contour lines and lines in overview map (less zig-zagging/diverging of parallel lines)
- direction flag is used with extended types (effects results of --allow-reverse-merge)
- option --allow-reverse-merge is now also used for non-routable lines 
- better detection of obsolete points caused by rounding
- different method to calculate and preserve "needed" points allows better line/polygon simplification
