Append Military Features tool errors, no geometry imported when Z mismatch

[BobBooth]

When you run the Append Military Features tool, you get errors about Z values, like this one:
-->Could not copy geometry - you may need to add Z-values or run Fix Geometry Tool, error code=-2147219196
if you attempt to append features that do not have Z values on the geometry into the blank geodatabase, or geodatabases created using the Military Features LPKs.
I found this problem attempting to import features from the APP6B comprehensive test data.
https://github.com/Esri/military-features-data/tree/dev/military-symbology-styles/test-data/app6b/gdbs

This happens because the features in the test data are not Z enabled. The tool gives error messages and imports the rows but not the geometry columns, so the features cannot be symbolized.

@csmoore - guess that two things should be fixed for this:

1. Enable Z values on the geometry of the test data/the tools that build it.
2. Document that tool requires input data to have Z values to match target GDB, or find a way to ignore the mismatch and import the point geometries with no data in the Z component of the shape.
