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

frame informations etc
* restructured & cleaned up Bevy & Blender code in those areas a bit

for any object with animations
