Issue Description	Google maps code should be loaded async. This is already done in certain areas, but cannot be performed when additional libraries (MarkerManager, googleMapsWX, wxParsers) are needed since they depend on the Google Maps code to load and parse. To allow async loading, the maps API callback should have an array of additional libraries needed. A set of promises will be created that call createScript() to dynamically load and insert these into the DOM. Once they are all complete, the map callback function should fire. The needed libraries can probably be passed as a list to the Maps API JSP tag, and they can be loaded synchronously since the promises are going to be fired off. (?? Validate) Once Promises are created, use Promise.all([x,y,z]) to generate the Promise that returns on completion.
