Description
Motivation
I'm trying to implement a utility function to solve #6531: map.U.lockRotation().
Because the navigation control would have already been constructed and added to the map, it's too late to just not add it. Hence I need to find the existing navigation control and either modify it, or remove it then re-add it.
Design Alternatives
map.getControl(mapboxgl.NavigationControl)?

Research direction
Start with the map and NavigationControl API referenced in this issue, then review the requirements in #6531. Define a supported way to access an existing control so it can be modified or removed and re-added after construction; completion should include a clear API behavior for that workflow.
