Support symbols for the source._dataType='vector' instead of source.type=='vector'

[am2222]

Motivation

So to add support to the custom vector layers I noticed that in the style.js we only support symbol layers for the vector and geojson source types. However I noticed that there is another parameter source._dataType which can be used so it also supports custom source types

Here is the line that checks for the source.type

mapbox-gl-js/src/style/style.js

Line 1408 in fd2045f

if (source.type === 'vector' || source.type === 'geojson') {

I guess changing it to check based on source._dataType will allow custom sources to support symbols too

Design Alternatives

it allows to add better support for the vector custom sources.

Implementation
