feat(weather): global rain radar from RainViewer

Browse Source 
Add a Global (RainViewer) option to Rain radar beside the US MRMS
radar. The proxy pins RainViewer's tile host, validates frames and
Web Mercator tile coordinates, and limits upstream tile requests to
80 a minute. Globe basemaps draw the tiles; on 3D Tiles the shell
composes them into one equirectangular image per frame and detail
window.

### Weather layers: coverage and meaning
Status: Open (source limits, by design)
- **Rain radar covers the contiguous United States only.** It shows MRMS
reflectivity in dBZ, not rainfall rate or a forecast; a gap in coverage does not
mean no precipitation.
- **Rain radar:** the US option is MRMS for the contiguous United States; the
Global option is RainViewer’s composite where national radars exist, past
2 hours only. Both show reflectivity in dBZ, not rainfall rate or a forecast;
gaps are not “no rain”.
- **Lightning density is a ground-network grid, not GLM flashes.** It is NOAA's
15-minute density product derived from Vaisala NLDN/GLD360 on an approximately
8 km grid, for the Americas and Pacific only (110°E across the dateline to 0°,
