Subject: [PATCH] Cache-buster + remove diagnostic logs

User's browser showed 404 and CORS errors for Carto tiles
even though curl shows the URLs return 200 with CORS headers.
Most likely the browser had cached earlier failed attempts.

Added a per-tile cache-buster (?v=Date.now()+random) to the
fetch URL so every tile request bypasses the browser's HTTP
cache. Removed the diagnostic console.log lines since the
issue is identified (browser cache).
