Hiding database details?

[sharkAndshark]

Currently front end can know that it's a database function when they call /rpc/somemething/Z/X/y.pbf.
And I'm not sure that is the API a little verbose?

Thanks @sharkAndshark , I'm already working on that :)

Basic idea: there will be "sources", each with its own ID, all mixable (i.e. you can ask for /id1,id2,id3/z/x/y.mvt), each source could come from a different backend (pg, mbtiles, ...), and it will support more than just mvt tiles (png/jpeg/...).

P.S. Note that this will most likely be a breaking change, at least for the configuration. I might keep the /rpc/... for backwards compat as a simple redirect that won't even test if its rpc or not.

I started a proper discussion on restructuring the endponts -- #430 -- lets continue there
