Support kml, kmz layer

Currently the plugin does not support kmz/kml layer, can we add this feature?

We plan to support GeoJSON sources (#2161) but I doubt there will ever be direct support for KML.

It's possible to parse GeoJSON files on-the-fly right now and a similar approach would work just fine for KML.

Or, the ideal approach would be to import your KML data using the new Mapbox Studio, which would create and host vector tiles that you could then use efficiently/worry-free in a GL style.

For anyone else wondering how to do this, I am using the OSMBonusPack library to import KML and export to GeoJson. It works really well. Just like Mapbox's toGeoJson repo, you will need to manually add styling but the OSMBonusPack does a wonderful job parsing all the styling attributes for you so it's rather painless.
