Description

This PR introduces a new feature that allows users to clear the cached map tiles from their disk through a new "Empty Map Cache" option in the settings menu. The functionality is implemented in the emptyTileCache function, which prompts the user for confirmation before deleting all cached tiles and also clears the Service Worker cache to prevent stale tiles from being served. Additionally, the MapLibre GL JS library has been updated from version 4.5.0 to 5.24.0, which may enhance performance and features related to map rendering. The removal of the exif-js dependency indicates a shift away from using that library, potentially simplifying the codebase and reducing bundle size. Overall, these changes improve user control over cached data and modernize the mapping capabilities of the application.
