  Replace fill-extrude-height and fill-extrude-base properties of fill render type with a separate fill-extrusion type (with corresponding fill-extrusion-height and fill-extrusion-base properties), solving problems with render parity and runtime switching between flat and extruded fills. #554

• breaking

  Change the units for extrusion height properties (fill-extrusion-height, fill-extrusion-base) from "magic numbers" to meters. #3509

• breaking
