stripVerticalComponent() was implemented in the initial commit of the PROJ 6 / GDAL Barn SRS effort, but was not used internally at that time. Just as a potential useful method for future users
Later we needed promoteTo3D(), and soon after the reverse operation, but we (likely) forgot about the existence of stripVerticalComponent(). Hence a new demoteTo2D() method, which is more capable than the initial stripVerticalComponent().
