Fixes #51

Switching the URL to https turned out not to be enough. OpenFireMap rebuilt its site on vector data (PMTiles plus Overpass queries), and the old raster endpoint openfiremap.org/hytiles/{z}/{x}/{y}.png now returns 404 for every tile, at any zoom and over http and https. There is no raster layer left to point at, so PredefinedTileProviders.openFireMap() is removed.

This is a breaking API change, but the method couldn't show anything anyway, and we're still on 0.x.

Also fixed the class KDoc, which pointed to a docs/TILE_OVERLAYS.md that doesn't exist.

OpenFireMap has moved to vector tiles and no longer serves the raster
hytiles layer: every tile answers 404, over http and https alike.
So PredefinedTileProviders.openFireMap() could only ever show nothing.

- Remove openFireMap() and its test case
- Drop it from the overlay list in MAP_TYPES.md
- Point the class KDoc to MAP_TYPES.md instead of the missing
  TILE_OVERLAYS.md
