FIXES #143
Previously we were using density quintiles from the uk/wide census.
We had previously talked about doing something dynamic to scale quintiles per/study area, but I thought that Scotland-wide quintiles was an easier start, and an uncontroversial improvement.

For smaller communities, it's still a bit washed out. Dynamic quintiles would address that.
One downside of dynamic quintiles is that you'd lose the ability to compare density by color across maps, e.g. if you are looking at two maps. My guess is that isn't a huge problem though. Mainly I just like that this approach is simpler, and maybe "good enough".
