Description
The geolocate control's accuracy circle isn't projected correctly at high pitch+zoom. It should remain attached to the surface. The accuracy circle needs to be rethought for instances when the geolocation is on a hill/slope.
This will eventually impact the various Mobile/Nav pucks as well.

Research direction
Start from the geolocate control and reproduce the accuracy-circle projection with terrain enabled at high pitch and zoom, using the examples shown in the issue. Investigate how the circle is attached to the map surface on hills and slopes. Done means the circle remains correctly draped on the terrain; consider the noted future impact on Mobile/Nav pucks.
