Features and improvements

• Improve performance for maps with many textures (such as styles with satellite imagery), fixing excessive memory usage. (h/t @tristan-morris) #12924

• Add raster-elevation property for elevating raster layers to a constant height (e.g. clouds over globe).

• Add raster-emissive-strength and fill-extrusion-emissive-strength properties for controlling 3D lighting on buildings and raster layers.

• Add Map getConfigProperty method for getting current style config values.

• Add config support in terrain options.

• Improve performance for pitched views with many fill extrusions on higher zoom levels.

• Allow turning off the terrain that is defined in the imports on the root-level Style by setting it to null.

• Allow the partial terrain exaggeration update without specifying the source.

• Respect style schema restrictions (minValue, maxValue, stepValue, values, type) when evaluating config options.
