[core] Limit pitch based on edge insets. Fix max Z calculation in getProjMatrix.

Patch partly fixes #15163 in a way that it doesn't allow loading tens of thousands of tiles and attempt to show area above horizon:

Limit pitch based on edge insets. It is not too bad - current limit of 60 degrees stays active until center of perspective is moved towards the bottom, to 84% of screen height. The plan is to split removal of 60 degrees limit to follow up patch.

Fix max Z calculation in getProjMatrix. TransformState::getProjMatrix calculation of farZ was complex with possibility to lead to negative z values. Replacing it with simpler, precise calculation:
furthestDistance = cameraToCenterDistance / (1 - tanFovAboveCenter * std::tan(getPitch()));

TransformState::getProjMatrix calculation of farZ was an aproximation. Replacing it with simpler, but precise calculation.
