Remarks

Enables Z support which defaults to disabled. This allows for RenderNodes drawn with #drawRenderNode(RenderNode) to be re-arranged based off of their RenderNode#getElevation() and RenderNode#getTranslationZ() values. It also enables rendering of shadows for RenderNodes with an elevation or translationZ.

Any draw reordering will not be moved before this call. A typical usage of this might look something like:

void draw(Canvas canvas) {
                    // Draw any background content
                    canvas.drawColor(backgroundColor);

                    // Begin drawing that may be reordered based off of Z
                    canvas.enableZ();
                    for (RenderNode child : children) {
                        canvas.drawRenderNode(child);
                    }
                    // End drawing that may be reordered based off of Z
                    canvas.disableZ();

                    // Draw any overlays
                    canvas.drawText("I'm on top of everything!", 0, 0, paint);
                }

Note: This is not impacted by any #save() or #restore() calls as it is not considered to be part of the current matrix or clip.
