OpenStreetMap blocks access if no referrer provided. When using html direct file access with a browser, this is not solvable and any alternative, like a local webserver, makes viewing the CRG refline on a map unneccessarily complicated.
Switching the tile provider to Carto was the most sensible solution.

Since OpenCRG is an open source project and the process of viewing single CRG reflines with a
map background generates barely any traffic, the use case should be within Carto's usage policy.

Resolves: #120

Since this topic was given higher priority from the OpenCRG CCB, the milestone was set to 2.0.1.
If this change cannot make it into the 2.0.1 release, I will adjust it to 2.1.0.

And if anyone has any preference for a different map tile provider or different map style, like satellite images, let me know.

Since this was not in the review for the TSC approval, we should not include it in 2.0.1.
But if the CCB approves, we can merge it right after the release of 2.0.1 so it will be in the current version but not in the release.

Understandable and thank you for changing the milestone of this PR to v2.1.0 for me.
