Use a 'hexmap' style as an alternative, additional map format #12

Description

@francisbarton

I'd be very happy to contribute these if you like (I have some prior work I can fairly easily draw on).

Hexmaps can be a useful way of presenting geospatial information like LSOA or MSOA boundaries where there are large size differences. Smaller, more densely populated urban areas can be harder to see compared to larger, more rural areas, dspite having the same approx population and therefore significance.

(And when it comes to deprivation, often it can be the urban areas that are higher up the scale so it is even more important that they are 'fairly' represented visually!)

See here for some examples and rationale.
