* continued restructure of auto_export internals
* split out get_levels_to_export
* simplified, cleaned up & made get_collections_to_export more efficient (skipping useless computations based
on settings)
* moved more settings to addon_prefs, created boilerplate to create copies & inject additional params
* modified tracker's use of the above, so that the actual list of future exports is displayed
* a lot of other tweaks & cleanups
* added "hack-ish" tweak to make sure component additions/delections etc
are picked up correctly by the change tracker in auto_export
* cleaned up a few operator names
* very minor tweaks
* cleaned up most of the change detection tracking
* updated/ fleshed out & improved the tests
* improved sidebar ui (wip)
* moved listing of blueprints to export to sidebar

* currently restructuring rest of the code to be able to display BEFORE saving
what will get exported & what not

* fixed, updated & refactored handling of auto export & gltf parameters
* added additional tests to changed_parameters
* added display of changes since last save in new side tab
* more investigation & fix attempts for change detection...
* various related tweaks & cleanups
* auto_export now defaults to being disabled (otherwise you will get export attempts etc even if you only
had the add-on installed !
* modified logic accordingly
* various related tweaks
* adjusted tests
* added workaround for backing up & restoring gltf export settings if there where any,
because it turns out in the glTF2_pre_export_callback, they already get created !
* added workaround for deleting the temporary gltf file, aka it needs an additional timer, because
the post export callback fires too early !
* added workaround to deal with the fact that operator uis have global state !!
aka make sure the settings used when calling the gltf exporter do not "contaminate" the normal exporter
* it all works, but sigh ...
* now all centralized in the operator's did_export_settings_change() function
* now works correctly ! ie only compares the parameters for auto & gltf
at the time of exporting ! ie it does not matter anymore how many parameters you changed, until you save/export
* this solves a lot of randomness bugs in change detection
* related & various cleanups
* added both gltf exporter button AND auto export button to side bar

deletes the temporary exported gltf file, extracts the scene level settings etc
* convoluted as hell , but still better than the alternatives
* renamed Animated component to AnimationInfos, fleshed it out with additional
frame informations etc
* restructured & cleaned up Bevy & Blender code in those areas a bit
* various related minor tweaks
* added additional component on the Bevy side + experimented with handling the data in the testing setup
* added parsing of animation markers on the Blender side + injection of custom property/ component
* rough around the edges, but the basics work !
* auto_export now injecting the list of available animations into the "Animated" component
for any object with animations
* modified bevy side struct to match
* fleshed out testing of hierarchy
* added export of serialized hierarchy from the bevy side & comparing it with a reference
one on the python side

* restructured a large part of creating copies / duplicates
* removed some obsolete code
* related cleanups
* allows to not be restricted by bevy's a bit weird logic for AnimationPlayers
* updated crate & tooling
* updated testing example with a bit more complex nesting cases for testing
* now trying to copy the animation to the "empty" placeholder using animation linking operator
* now in gltf viewer we can see the two animations/actions, but still nothing in Bevy

we now copy blueprint root data (components & children) into the original entity ! fixes#96
* much simpler code wise
* solves issue with needing to register components that we only use on the bevy side (not gltf)
since we are not copying the bevy data into the blueprints data

components on the target entity, & some bells & whistles

* ie if a collection instance (or its original collection) has a "dynamic" (aka mutable, saveable etc)
flag it can get exported to a seperate gltf file (essentially acting like an "initial save")
* the rest of the levels (the "static" data) is exported without the dynamic objects and
can be reused with save files !

* feat(tools): scene component injection & export
- ambient light, shadowmap resolution, bloom intensity, ambient occlusion are now directly settable from scene components that are injected automatically in the scene
- relaxed requirements for changes(aka when to export gltf) for main scenes,
so that render , background etc changes also trigger a save
- added scene components examples

the next time you save , all the models are re-exported
* feat(tools:gltf_auto_export): major overhaul & optimisation of library export
* added change detection handling so only the actually changed collections get exported on save
* works with actual changes (ie clicks/ selections don't count)
