Tile layout - should it be supported?

Subject of the issue

How useful and widely used is the tile feature that's part of the Hotgraphic plugin? Should it be removed, separated out into a new plugin, or remain as part of this one?

@guywillis We use the tile layout quite a bit. I do think that it should stay in Hot Graphic for backwards compatibility, if nothing else.

That said, we could create a new tile-based "hotgraphic" plugin (ex. "Hot Tile") and slowly urge people to migrate to that one. I do like the idea of keeping Hot Graphic's purpose limited to a hotspot-style plugin, as the grid layout seems like a different thing.

Adding it to Hot Grid as a new layout option could work. However, I feel that this would simply shift the complexity into a different plugin and would remove the feature from the Adapt Community's ownership (even though Kineo makes Hot Grid available as open source).
