WASD navigation in First Person mode

[yarpskendaya]

Description 📝

We would love to be able to walk through our models.
I've seen it request before with some helpful insights as to how to create it ourselves:
#12

But the community is still requesting this functionality so I figured it's a good thing to have in the library itself:
https://people.thatopen.com/c/ask-the-community/wasd-navigation

Suggested solution 💡

I propose the following:

WASD navigation like in games, moving the first-person camera on the horizontal plane.

Q & E controls as a bonus to move the camera up and down. This way, the user is free to navigate to different levels in their buildings.

Alternative ⛕

The simpler Q & E controls avoid implementing a slightly more involved approach where the user has to be able to toggle between levels that are defined in their models.

I recommend you use this library: https://github.com/hh-hang/three-player-controller
— it also lets you switch between first- and third-person views.

Due to the variety of use possible cases, instead of implementing an opinionated WASD navigation system we've decided to open up the camera navigation modes, so you can easily add your own. You can now do this:

 world.camera.addCustomNavigationMode(mode);

Where mode implements this interface. You can see the existing navigation modes in that same folder as reference.

Available from @thatopen/components@3.2.7. To be published these days. Let us know if it. Cheers!
