Description
## Motivation
Korean language is much better visibility in "symbol placement: 'line'" case below.
I think Korean does not need to rotate char some case.
Is it possible to make toggle option?

## Design Alternatives
Toggle options from instance init. "charHasUprightVerticalOrientation"
```
new mapboxgl.Map({
// boolean
charHasUprightVerticalOrientation: false
});
```

Research direction
Start with src/symbol/shaping.js around line 607 and src/util/script_detection.js around line 119 to trace how upright vertical orientation is determined. Then inspect the Map instance initialization options and existing symbol-placement tests; done means the proposed charHasUprightVerticalOrientation toggle controls Korean character rotation for line placement without changing the default behavior.
