* 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

* 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

* renamed Animated component to AnimationInfos, fleshed it out with additional
frame informations etc
* restructured & cleaned up Bevy & Blender code in those areas a bit

* 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
* various tweaks

* 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
* added **copyComponents** helper to copy components from one entity to another, excluding existing
components on the target entity, & some bells & whistles
* **Name** is now optional when spawning a blueprint: closes#97

* added (optional) **AddToGameWorld** component for convenience to automatically add entities to the game world, if there is one
* chore(bevy_gltf_components): removed verbose output, cleaned it up a bit
* feat(tools/auto_export): added option to split out "dynamic" objects in main scenes
* 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 !
* scans for 'in-use' collections now correctly looks inside sub collections as well
* removed obsolete .gltf output (keeping only .glb & .gltf+bin+textures
* closes#92

* when exporting of nested blueprints is disabled, will not scan for nested blueprints
and thus no export them
* docs(): updated docs & added images for nested blueprints support
* 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
- added additional proxies & handling for camera & lights
- in relevant cases, made sure that entity specific components are not overridden by scene components
- added option to toggle scene level exports of params/ components
- ambient colour/ intensity is now also set as background/clear colour
- updated docs

* export all materials in use by blueprints to a separate temporary scene with cubes (for now)
with the materials assigned

to this one
* exported main scene gltf file name is now created based on the Blender scene name, not settable
* blueprints folder defaults to "library"
* the exporter now defaults to enabled blueprints, & enabled change detection in library
* added handling of export parameter changes
* ie when the gltf parameters (gltf vs glb, compression etc), are changed
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)
* this means "progressive" export of only the changed parts, WAY faster
* removed "export_on_library_changes" setting, which was semi redundant with the library toggle itself
* also scans for already existing exports on disk (for "first runs" in a Blender session)
* many smaller cleanups

* parameters are thus now persisted even if the addon is removed & added back
* based on standard gltf exporter

and there where previously saved settings
