add brief geo-data-viewer extension features outline to docs

add mapbox token dialog for kepler.gl map init

• store it in global state
• use dev entered mapbox token in map.view.html setup

add GeoJSON to TopoJSON data transform command

since many geo data viz devs frequently use topoJSON files for their maps.

call it geo.json.topojson Geo: Transform GeoJSON to TopoJson (ctrl/cmd + alt + t)

remove add data kepler.gl modal dialog since we load it from opened vscode geo data text documents
