Changelog

Added ⭐

• Maps: take care of filter and popup parameters from the url when viewing a map
  in order to zoom directly to the defined features and to display popups
• Maps: When an error appeared during the load of a project, the user interface
  has been improved to show a better message, instead of the unreadable "SERVICE NON DISPONIBLE" error message.
• Administration: add a new page in the admin panel showing the list of published projects
  in a dynamic table.
  • visible properties: repository, project name, modification date, projection,
    layer count, qgis desktop version, lizmap plugin version, authorized groups
  • The background of some properties are colored based on the values
    to help the admin see what must be corrected:
    • QGIS version:
      • lightyellow if the version is old compared to the QGIS Server (minor version difference > 6)
      • lightcoral if the QGIS desktop version is above the installed QGIS Server version
    • Layer count:
      • lightyellow if above 100,
