Minor cleanup requests

@Sameboat: I have a few suggestions but don't want to dive into your sophisticated SVG syntax myself:

• Make the purple line more purple and less magenta.
• Increase the line weight of the purple line to match the others.
• Fade the uncompleted purple line (opacity?) to match the uncompleted part of the silver line, instead of depending on line weight to denote this.
• Change the dot-type stations on the purple line to tick-type stations to match the others.
• Go ahead and make the purple line connect to Bethesda, Silver Spring, College Park, and New Carrollton, instead of showing separate circle-type stations.
• Replace the Christian cross on the gravestone in Arlington Cemetery with something more secular such as scribbly text or a five-point star.

Thanks! This is a terrific map, by the way! — voidxor 20:38, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

A few other issues:

• Potomac Yard-YT should be Potomac Yard-VT.
• The tooltip for Fort Totten still says Terminus for Yellow Line when it should be Mount Vernon Square's tooltip that says that.
• The tooltip for Greenbelt mentions Metrobus B30, which Wikipedia seems to say no longer exists.

Why not based on actual WMATA map?

The existence of this map is bizarre. The SVG programming of it and addition of the purple line are great. But why is it a completely new map at all? Why not start from the WMATA route diagram that already exists and is widely familiar? Everything about this map is unhelpfully unfamiliar to anyone at all who has seen the WMATA map-- the shape of the lines, the included geographic features, even down to the off-axis orientation of the map.
