/**
* A class responsible for highlighting points, lines, and shapes on the map upon selection and consequent hover actions.
* The highlighting is achieved by manipulating svg rendering of the map as follows:
*  - all existing feature layers are wrapped into a group object
*  - three more group objects are created:
*      - `highlight group` is positioned after the `graphicGroup`
*      - `zoomlight group` is positioned before the `graphicGroup`
*      - `hoverlight group` is positioned before the `zoomlight group`
*
* and changing the opacity of the `graphicGroup` while adding shapes to one or more of the additional group objects.
