Add more examples to making maps vignette - mapdeck, tmap, et al

Wouldn't mind updating and fleshing that out a bit more with additional examples. We both like the mapdeck package, and I think the tmap package provides a great high level api for quick maps that people would find useful. Any others that you would want to include?
Downsides include needing to configure a couple of things - mapdeck, for ex, requires a mapbox api key. We can simply not compile those examples on CRAN, like we do elsewhere, but would need to set it up for CI on github. Easy enough.
Could do that. One issue is that it blows up the dependencies. Easy to set this up for CI. The idea behind leaflet was that it's a lightweight way to make a web map. Maybe fancier maps is better for blog posts? Not sure.
