Status in DHIS 2 - District Health Information Software: Fix Committed

Bug description:
Currently all the map files (geojson) needed for the GIS module are stored in mapping/geojson in the dhis webapps folder.
I can see the benefit from distributing these files together with the source code and inside war files, but often you will create these files locally and put them manually into webapps/dhis. These files are then easily lost when updating dhis to a new version (since you then have to delete webapps/dhis). Would it be possible to keep these files in a DHIS2_HOME/mapping/geojson folder in stead? Or if possible, fetch map files match from both locations so that you get the best of both sides, both distribution inside war files and a safe place to put additional maps?
