Add Web support

[ZdenekKrcal]

Hi, thank you for the great plugin but could you add web support? Thank you.

[digitaltrustkz]

yes, please, definitely web support is needed.

The problem is the Google plugin only supports Android and iOS. Luckily there is https://pub.dev/packages/google_maps_flutter_web which could help to solve the problem, it's just that I barely have time for this right now, but PRs are welcomed as always.

@martin-braun it seems google_maps_flutter now supports the web target.

[martin-braun]

@ouvreboite Cool, would you be interested in giving it a shot? :)

@martin-braun sure. I've poked around a little:

Thanks to your 3.1.0 release, we already got a web-compatible version of google_maps_flutter

• Displaying the map already works for the web 🥳 (we just need to add the google map JS package in the HTML head, otherwise you get an ugly JS error at runtime)
• Places search and geocoding fails 💀, due to a CORS issue. Apparently it's because we use the "backend API" for Google Places, with is not supposed to work on web apps. Maybe switching from google_maps_webservice to flutter_google_maps_webservices would help.

I'll keep digging and propose a PR if I find a way to make it work.

@ouvreboite Wonderful. Please upgrade to 3.1.1 though, 3.1.0 caused some dependency issues, but it might be that you are not affected by this (I was).

Also, the google_maps_webservice package is just cancer due to its age, thus should be replaced anyways, so I'm glad that you are incorporating an alternative. This old package is simply not updated anymore and I'm more than happy to replace this ancient left-over with something fresh.

When you are ready, please do your PR on the dev branch, and change only necessary bits, so the changes can be overviewed in a faster pace.

Thank you, good job so far. :)
