For #4104
Background
This PR fixes the usage of
COORDINATE_SYSTEM.CARTESIAN
withWebMercatorViewport
. In this case, positions are in common space instead of lng-lat. This is discussed in #3935, where the source data (mapbox vector tiles) is pre-projected to the Web Mercator plane.More generically, this is needed to support alternative 2D projections such as Stereographic, Albers, etc. For these projections, it is not feasible to do the full projection on the GPU with acceptable performance and precision. We will need to project lng-lat positions to the common space on the CPU, and then use these positions with a geospatial viewport.
