Add progressive administrative levels to layer "boundaries" #138

@superrache

Description

@superrache

The "boundaries" layer currently supports only admin levels 2 and 4 (countries and states), displayed at zoom levels 0 and 7 respectively.
The current raster style OpenstreetMap-carto already implements progressive rendering of additional admin levels based on zoom level. Adding the same feature would significantly improve the map's usability for local navigation and context.

Proposed features:

admin_level zoom level description
2 0 countries
4 7 state/provinces
6 10 departements/districts
8 12 cities
9 12 city districts
10 14 neighborhoods
11 14 subdivision of neighborhoods

Complete administrative levels by country

About labeling: in OpenstreetMap-carto, boundaries are labeled along the boundary lines, on the right side of the line. I'm not sure if this feature is achievable with vector tiles and Maplibre, that might be a separate topic. Maybe in a first time, new admin_level feature could be added in "boundary_labels" layer.
