Title: Raise feature in layer

If you can draw and load features into a map, it sometimes happens that i.e. a polygon is over a point. If you then want to select the point or modify it is not possible because the polygon is over it. So I made a function to move a feature in the feature array, like the one in OL.Map.
The moving itself is not a big thing, everyone can implement moving feature in features array in own code, but it's tricky to find that you have to erase the features not only redraw. So it is a useful api method for people who don't dive into OL code.
