• Create multiple 3D layers in Mapbox is a heavy consumer of resources because every layer is rendered separately.
• Enabled built-in multilayer support through multiLayer param, this param will create an embedded internal layer in Threebox that will manage the render with a single call to tb.update so it's not needed in each layer definition. This saves a lot of resources as mapbox render loop only calls once to three.js render.
• Each layer can be hidden explicitly with a button, but also each layer has a different zoom range through tb.setLayoutZoomRange so the layers will hide depending on zoom level.
• Added performance stats indicator.
  
• Updated to Mapbox 2.2.0
