 We all know the problems with commercial layers integrated through
 Layer.EventPane. For Google layers, it is now possible to use the tiles
 from the API, instead of interacting with a full blown google.maps.Map
 instance. This works by using the google.maps.MapType's getTile method,
 which is available even for unrendered google.maps.Map instances, and
 returns markup for a tile with the same x, y and z tile addressing scheme
 that we use for Layer.XYZ.

 This ticket suggests a new layer type, Layer.GoogleNG, which inherits from
 Layer.XYZ and uses a new tile class, Tile.Google, for its tiles.
