Resolve spatial reference extents issue. Currently proper tile layout depends on knowing the precise extents of the tile pyramid's spatial reference. Either remove this dependency or create a dependable database of projection extents.

The extents from the following websites are unreliable:

epsg-registry.org
epsg.io
spatialreference.org

The geopackage files themselves do not include the projection extents.

I have not yet found a way to use any software (e.g. Proj.4, GDAL/OGR) to acquire the extents.

Currently we choose extents using the epsg.io extents as a starting point, and alter them to be in harmony with the desired tile pyramid and layer extents. We should not have to do this, and it may not be robust.
