Description
Now that #5286 has shipped, we can start thinking about enhancing the functionality. Right now RasterDEM sources only support the mapbox terrain-rgb tileset, but we should extend it to allow support for other DEM encoding formulas.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the RasterDEM implementation and the functionality shipped in #5286, then trace how the mapbox terrain-rgb encoding formula is handled. The scope is to support additional DEM encoding formulas; done means RasterDEM sources can use formulas beyond the current terrain-rgb tileset.
