Phase 1: Support for Geo fields

• Display geo fields in the field list
• Display basic field info similar to Data Visualizer
• Popover contains a button to redirect user to Maps application, bringing the field along (like Discover)
• User tries to drag field, but gets message in the preview panel about Lens not supporting geo fields with possible dedicated drop zone to redirect user and field to Maps application

Phase 2: Support for basic map embeddable

Dependent on Maps team supporting string lookup/schemas for locations as strings

• Allows using string fields as known map locations with a single metric
• Lens defaults to stacked bar as if categorical
• Add Map chart as a suggestion and chart selection
• Continue to push users to configure within the Maps application

Phase 3: Support geo fields rendered as map embeddable with simple configurations

Mocks TBD
