Description

Similar to `circle-pitch-scale` where you can disable circles from scaling based on the distance from the camera, it would be useful to have control over label size and not have the renderer make that decision automatically.

Research direction

Start by tracing the existing `circle-pitch-scale` behavior in the renderer and identify where symbol label scaling is decided automatically. Define how a new `symbol-pitch-scale` property should control that behavior, then verify the result against the supplied screenshot and existing circle behavior.
