    Support additional Geocoding providers for Wp-Job-Manager: OpenStreetMap-Support is wanted!

    We should add additional providers for Geocoding data.

    Some possibilities:

    Mapbox
    Geocod.io (US / Canada only cry)
    locationiq.com (US / Canada only cry)
    osm

    I think to start off with osm or Mapbox makes the most sense as an additional provider. We’d still default to Google Maps API for backwards compatibility, but would allow people to select an alternative provider with its own API key.
    we should definitly add more osm-opions as provider!

    It’s a long time since I am wishing a Mapbox-Wordpress easy integration…
    mapbox offers an easy way to design custom mapa, but unfortunately there seems not to be any UI to add layers, markers, categories, etc to it within Worpress! I think it would be extremely useful
