Description

See #2331. Essentially, simplify code needs 3d support when enableAltitude is `true` and z coordinates exist. Maptalks currently uses 2d code of the simplify library, there's a branch https://github.com/mourner/simplify-js/tree/3d that supports 3d.

Research direction

Start by reading issue #2331 and tracing the simplify path used when enableSimplify is enabled. Compare the current 2D simplify-js usage with the simplify-js 3d branch, using enableAltitude and existing z coordinates as the scenario to verify. Done means simplification works for 3D geometry without breaking the current 2D behavior.
