Support rendering annotation layer markers as 3d billboards
PR Description:
Adds a new option for showing annotation layers in 3d maps.
From the annotation layer properties, 3d tab, users can set the layer to render as 3d billboards. When activated, all MARKERS from the layer will be shown as floating billboard symbols above the 3d map. (lines, polygons, and text items from the layer are ignored).
Users have control over the terrain clamping and offset for the billboards, and whether or not "callout" lines should be shown (vertical lines joining the billboard to the corresponding location on the terrain surface)
