Only send the fields we need to render the world map. We also add Rack::Deflate middleware to gzip all json responses.
Partially addresses: fablabbcn/smartcitizen-web#451 (comment)
Overall, this cuts the weight of the world map from ~4.5MB to ~250k, and the response time down to approx 1.5 sec.
The speed up from caching the /world_map endpoint is now negligible, so we might think about removing that once we've verified that this all works correctly.
