Description
## Motivation
When the map is pitched, its difficult to associate the symbol name/icon with the actual point to which it is referring to. This style would make reading maps more feasible and actually useful when it is pitched.
I have also attached a screenshot from Google maps illustrating this.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the attached mock-up and the issue discussion to understand the intended symbol-to-point relationship while the map is pitched. Trace the mapbox-gl-js symbol rendering entry points and identify how pitched placement is handled; done means symbols visibly point to their actual POIs in pitched mode without breaking existing map behavior.
