Restructuring code to monorepo about kartotherian HOT 6 CLOSED

I have a demo of this up on GitHub at https://github.com/mdholloway/kartotherian-lerna. If that looks about as expected, I'll open up a PR.

It does indeed make dependency management much easier!

@mdholloway this is awesome!!! Thanks for tackling this. I have been observing a very similar effort by https://github.com/vega/vega -- they recently did the same migration (I initially suggested it to them, but did not actually participate in the migration itself), and they ended up using workspace feature as being much easier to handle than the hackish Lerna-own dependency hoisting, and instead relies on yarn's native support for workspaces. I think it would make sense for us to follow the same model and use their experience with this.

@mdholloway I have re-done the merge in order to keep the original structure, and migrated to yarn. yarn supports workspaces, thus linking is done on the level of the package manager, not lerna (thus it is far more reliable). Also, I kept the tilelive-vector because it has been significantly altered in order to support language param passing. I'm not sure if WMF is using it, but I think we should keep it in the monorepo. #89

Hey @nyurik, sorry but I've been head-down recently trying to get a new MW extension shipped for the Android team. The yarn/workspaces approach sounds interesting and I hope to have a look soon. In the meantime I'll close this PR, since it appears to be obsolete.
