map.flyTo avoids crossing the antimeridian when projection is globe

[ollfkaih]

mapbox-gl-js version: 2.15.0

browser: Firefox 114.0.2 (or latest chrome also)

Steps to Trigger Behavior

1. Try to fly from somewhere far east in the eastearn hemisphere to somewhere west in the western hemisphere.

With a globe projection, the map will go westwards (around the world), while other projections like the mercator projection will go eastwards (the shorter route).
This is related to #2071 and #1853.

Code to reproduce:

map.flyTo({
  center: [180, 0],
});
setTimeout(() => {
  map.flyTo({
    center: [-180, 0],
  });
}, 2500);

Expected Behavior

Take the shortest possible path.

Actual Behavior

Stays on w=0 and goes "the wrong way around" the globe.

Issue still exists in v3.0.1

Example

Plotting line between San Francisco and Auckland does not render shortest path:

    <Map
      mapLib={import("mapbox-gl")}
      initialViewState={{
