This patch introduces the initial implementation of
- A `LayerFactory` abstract class that creates `style::Layer` instances of
a certain layer type (line, hillshade, round, ..)
- A singleton `LayerManager` class, which is responsible for initializing
the `LayerFactory` instances and forwarding the `create()` calls to the
corresponding factory.
The `style::Layer` class now exposes all the properties contained at `style::LayerImpl`.
This allowed to drop `style::Layer::accept()` method usage, avoid the repeated generated code
and thus save some binary size.
This patch is a part of the layers modularization effort.

This converts the style property classes (CirclePaintProperties and so on) to the same tuple-based approach as gl::Attribute and gl::Uniform. The approach is outlined in https://github.com/mapbox/cpp/blob/master/C%2B%2B%20Structural%20Metaprogramming.md.
The main advantage of this approach is it allows writing algorithms that work on sets of style properties, without resorting to code generation or manually repetitive code. This lets us iterate on approaches to data-driven properties more easily.
Another advantage is that the cascading, unevaluated, and evaluated states of a set of properties exist as independent structures, instead of individual properties holding their own state. This is a more functional approach that makes data flow clearer and reduces state.
This paves the way for updates to filter and layout properties to trigger a source reload, without each SDK having to participate in the implementation.
* Layer source ID is immutable; must be provided to the constructor
* Layer source layer is mutable
* Layers with GeoJSON sources do not have a source layer
While here, make Layer::copy impl-private.
