Description

It would be good add support to .tsv files, due to is a very clean format, and it avoid the problem we have when text data inside the file contains commas, for example:

To fix that, I use the method tsvParseRows from d3-dsv library that actually you use.

This is the result of the implementation, I stay tuned to send the PR. xefalz09qj

Contributor guide

Research direction
Use the d3 dsv library's tsvParseRows function to parse TSV files, and integrate it similarly to the existing CSV support in kepler.gl's data processing pipeline.
