Static maps style only accepts a dict instead of a list of dict

[raj-abodey]

I am trying to create a static map with different styles. I would like to turn some poi features off and others on. However, the current approach only accepts a dict and only renders one feature set.

In here (https://github.com/googlemaps/google-maps-services-python/blob/master/googlemaps/maps.py), style is supposed to accept list of dict. However, convert (https://github.com/googlemaps/google-maps-services-python/blob/master/googlemaps/convert.py#L208) only accepts a dict.

Steps to reproduce

Code example

for chunk in gmaps.static_map(
        size=(1024, 1024),
        center=base_address_location,
        style=[
            {
                "feature": "poi.business",
                "visibility": "off",
            },
            {
                "feature": "poi.schools",
                "visibility": "off",
            },
            {
                "feature": "poi.restaurants",
                "visibility": "on",
            },
        ],
        zoom=15,
        format="png",
        markers=marker,
        maptype="roadmap",
    ):
        if chunk:
            f.write(chunk)
    f.close()

I have the same issue - I need to pass multiple styles. It's important enough that it means I can't use this library until this problem is fixed - I'll just have to construct the URL manually in the meantime.
