Programmatically changing the visible map region deselects selected annotation

[danielamitay]

Platform: iOS
Mapbox SDK version: v3.3.4

Steps to trigger behavior

1. Have annotations on screen, with callouts supported
2. Tap on an annotation, -mapView:didSelectAnnotationView: will be called
3. Programmatically center the map on the selected annotation

Expected behavior

You should be able to move the map around (at a minimum programmatically, but even user interaction) while an annotation is selected, and it should remain selected. This is also how MKMapView works, you can select an annotation and programmatically center/move the map, and it will remain active. Even user map moves allows the annotation to remain active unless programmatically deselected or a user tap, or another annotation being selected.

Actual behavior

The annotation will be immediately deselected.

MGLMapView is deselecting the annotation here: https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-native/blob/master/platform/ios/src/MGLMapView.mm#L4432-L4437
