Patch our patches

[andrewbt]

OpenTreeMap is a big software package with a large number of dependencies on other Python projects. Currently, some of these require editing/adding manual patches to dependencies (as outlined in the README.md).

OTM would be easier for all to install if we better automated applying these patches instead of users needing to do them manually.

Possible solutions:

• .diff or .patch files
• a bash script
• other ways?

The best way would be to clone all of these projects to our github account,
make the patches and then have requirements.txt point to the github versions
