TASK DESCRIPTION There is an `altitude` field in the array representation for globe coordinate values that is always `null`. According to @JeroenDeDauw (quoted in T177269#3685706 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T177269#3685706>), it was never used; `GlobeCoordinateValue::getArrayValue()` <https://github.com/DataValues/Geo/blob/3.0.1/src/Values/GlobeCoordinateValue.php#L193-L195> now always sets it to `null`, and the JSON datamodel documentation has described it as “deprecated and no longer used” since its first revision on MediaWiki.org <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:PermanentLink/988118#globecoordinate>. Let’s just get rid of it and save a few bytes in the database, in the dumps and in `Special:EntityData` responses. (Of course, this is technically a breaking change that should be properly announced <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Stable_Interface_Policy#Notification_Policy>.)
