Impossible to credit some sources properly in Cesium.

[mramato]

Currently, all credits get mashed together into a single list, but this makes it hard to properly credit some sources. For example, Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) requires a link to the CC 4.0 license, but there's no way via credits to indicate which data this license applies to without repeating information across Credits.

For example let's say I have a data source Foo Imagery, that requires attribution to both Bar.inc and CC 4.0. I also need to link to both. Right now I would be forced to write

• Foo Imagery (includes part of data X and Y) provided by Bar.inc
• Foo Imagery licensed under CC 4.0

This can get pretty crowded when you have multiple data sources and many attributions are much more elaborate. I would much rather write:

• Foo Imagery (includes part of data X and Y) provided by Bar.inc and licensed under CC 4.0

The best idea I have for fixing this is allowing HTML credits instead of just text. OpenLayers does this already, but all credits are manually added by the user. Since we support server-side credits, we probably need to sanitize the credit using https://www.npmjs.com/package/xss or similar.

Other libraries like leaflet and openlayers have HTML credits. I think that's the way to go

I believe this was fixed in #6331.

Yes, thanks @kring
