OWS Context Parser Masterportal Addon

This addon gives users the possibility to import OGC OWS Context documents into the Masterportal. A new button "OWS Context" is added to the main menu and allows the user to submit a remote URL to an OWS Context. The official documentation for OWS Context documents is available here:

https://www.owscontext.org/

Currently, only the GeoJSON format is supported.

All visible layers are shown in a flat hierarchy within the layer tree. Additional layers can be added from the layer catalog. The folder structure defined in the OWS Context document is supported.
