I think we can safely start referring to this library as the "MapML polyfill" and hopefully things will go smoothly from here.

Having spent a bunch of time bundling project artifacts into a single .js file plus a single .css file, it seems logical to make those files be named mapml.js and mapml.css, respectively. This would conform to some expectations set up by the new name of the project (MapML.js).

When we make a new release of this change, we will need to identify all of our web pages that rely on mapml-viewer.js on CDN and update them to rely on the new module name instead.
