Contours at lower zoom levels

User Story

In order to see a more detailed view of the terrain as a user I want to be able to see contours in more detail instead of the current system, where 20m contours are only visible from zoom level 14, and 100m contours are only visible from zoom level 11.

Acceptance Criteria

The current behaviour could stay the same, but it would be great if the tiles included contours slightly more zoomed out - currently the data isn't as useful as the Topo50 series because its hard to get an idea of the steepness of various bits of terrain.

In each case, the Topo50/Topo250 map shows significantly more elevation detail. If the tiles included this data (but didn't render it) we could customize how detailed the contours should be at each zoom level. Potentially, this could be controlled via some query parameters?
