Specialized UI transform (#16615)
# Objective

Add specialized UI transform `Component`s and fix some related problems:
* Animating UI elements by modifying the `Transform` component of UI
nodes doesn't work very well because `ui_layout_system` overwrites the
translations each frame. The `overflow_debug` example uses a horrible
hack where it copies the transform into the position that'll likely
cause a panic if any users naively copy it.
* Picking ignores rotation and scaling and assumes UI nodes are always
axis aligned.
* The clipping geometry stored in `CalculatedClip` is wrong for rotated
and scaled elements.
* Transform propagation is unnecessary for the UI, the transforms can be
updated during layout updates.
* The UI internals use both object-centered and top-left-corner-based
coordinates systems for UI nodes. Depending on the context you have to
add or subtract the half-size sometimes before transforming between
coordinate spaces. We should just use one system consistantly so that
the transform can always be directly applied.
* `Transform` doesn't support responsive coordinates.

## Solution

* Unrequire `Transform` from `Node`.
* New components `UiTransform`, `UiGlobalTransform`:
- `Node` requires `UiTransform`, `UiTransform` requires
`UiGlobalTransform`
- `UiTransform` is a 2d-only equivalent of `Transform` with a
translation in `Val`s.
- `UiGlobalTransform` newtypes `Affine2` and is updated in
`ui_layout_system`.
* New helper functions on `ComputedNode` for mapping between viewport
and local node space.
* The cursor position is transformed to local node space during picking
so that it respects rotations and scalings.
* To check if the cursor hovers a node recursively walk up the tree to
the root checking if any of the ancestor nodes clip the point at the
cursor. If the point is clipped the interaction is ignored.
* Use object-centered coordinates for UI nodes.
* `RelativeCursorPosition`'s coordinates are now object-centered with
(0,0) at the the center of the node and the corners at (±0.5, ±0.5).
* Replaced the `normalized_visible_node_rect: Rect` field of
`RelativeCursorPosition` with `cursor_over: bool`, which is set to true
when the cursor is over an unclipped point on the node. The visible area
of the node is not necessarily a rectangle, so the previous
implementation didn't work.

This should fix all the logical bugs with non-axis aligned interactions
and clipping. Rendering still needs changes but they are far outside the
scope of this PR.

Tried and abandoned two other approaches:
* New `transform` field on `Node`, require `GlobalTransform` on `Node`,
and unrequire `Transform` on `Node`. Unrequiring `Transform` opts out of
transform propagation so there is then no conflict with updating the
`GlobalTransform` in `ui_layout_system`. This was a nice change in its
simplicity but potentially confusing for users I think, all the
`GlobalTransform` docs mention `Transform` and having special rules for
how it's updated just for the UI is unpleasently surprising.
* New `transform` field on `Node`. Unrequire `Transform` on `Node`. New
`transform: Affine2` field on `ComputedNode`.
This was okay but I think most users want a separate specialized UI
transform components. The fat `ComputedNode` doesn't work well with
change detection.

Fixes #18929, #18930

## Testing

There is an example you can look at: 
```
cargo run --example ui_transform
```

Sometimes in the example if you press the rotate button couple of times
the first glyph from the top label disappears , I'm not sure what's
causing it yet but I don't think it's related to this PR.

##  Migration Guide
New specialized 2D UI transform components `UiTransform` and
`UiGlobalTransform`. `UiTransform` is a 2d-only equivalent of
`Transform` with a translation in `Val`s. `UiGlobalTransform` newtypes
`Affine2` and is updated in `ui_layout_system`.
`Node` now requires `UiTransform` instead of `Transform`. `UiTransform`
requires `UiGlobalTransform`.

In previous versions of Bevy `ui_layout_system` would overwrite UI
node's `Transform::translation` each frame. `UiTransform`s aren't
overwritten and there is no longer any need for systems that cache and
rewrite the transform for translated UI elements.

`RelativeCursorPosition`'s coordinates are now object-centered with
(0,0) at the the center of the node and the corners at (±0.5, ±0.5). Its
`normalized_visible_node_rect` field has been removed and replaced with
a new `cursor_over: bool` field which is set to true when the cursor is
hovering an unclipped area of the UI node.

separate border colors (#18682)
# Objective

allow specifying the left/top/right/bottom border colors separately for
ui elements

fixes #14773

## Solution

- change `BorderColor` to 
```rs
pub struct BorderColor {
    pub left: Color,
    pub top: Color,
    pub right: Color,
    pub bottom: Color,
}
```
- generate one ui node per distinct border color, set flags for the
active borders
- render only the active borders

i chose to do this rather than adding multiple colors to the
ExtractedUiNode in order to minimize the impact for the common case
where all border colors are the same.

## Testing

modified the `borders` example to use separate colors:


![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/5d9a4492-429a-4ee1-9656-215511886164)

the behaviour is a bit weird but it mirrors html/css border behaviour.

---

## Migration:

To keep the existing behaviour, just change `BorderColor(color)` into
`BorderColor::all(color)`.

UI Node Gradients (#18139)
# Objective

Allowing drawing of UI nodes with a gradient instead of a flat color.

## Solution

The are three gradient structs corresponding to the three types of
gradients supported: `LinearGradient`, `ConicGradient` and
`RadialGradient`. These are then wrapped in a `Gradient` enum
discriminator which has `Linear`, `Conic` and `Radial` variants.

Each gradient type consists of the geometric properties for that
gradient and a list of color stops.
Color stops consist of a color, a position or angle and an optional
hint. If no position is specified for a stop, it's evenly spaced between
the previous and following stops. Color stop positions are absolute, if
you specify a list of stops:
```vec![vec![ColorStop::new(RED, Val::Percent(90.), ColorStop::new(Color::GREEN, Val::Percent(10.))```
the colors will be reordered and the gradient will transition from green at 10% to red at 90%. 

Colors are interpolated between the stops in SRGB space. The hint is a normalized value that can be used to shift the mid-point where the colors are mixed 50-50.  between the stop with the hint and the following stop.

For sharp stops with no interpolated transition, place two stops at the same position.

`ConicGradient`s and RadialGradient`s have a center which is set using the new `Position` type. `Position` consists of a normalized (relative to the UI node) `Vec2` anchor point and a responsive x, y offset.

To draw a UI node with a gradient you insert the components `BackgroundGradient` and `BorderGradient`, which both newtype a vector of `Gradient`s. If you set a background color, the background color is drawn first and the gradient(s) are drawn on top.

The implementation is deliberately simple and self contained. The shader draws the gradient in multiple passes which is quite inefficient for gradients with a very large number of color stops. It's simple though and there won't be any compatibility issues. We could make gradients a specialization for `UiPipeline` but I used a separate pipeline plugin for now to ensure that these changes don't break anything. 

#### Not supported in this PR
* Interpolation in other color spaces besides SRGB. 
* Images and text: This would need some breaking changes like a `UiColor` enum type with `Color` and `Gradient` variants, to enable `BorderColor`, `TextColor`, `BackgroundColor` and `ImageNode::color` to take either a `Color` or a gradient.
* Repeating gradients

## Testing

Includes three examples that can be used for testing:
```
cargo run --example linear_gradients
cargo run --example stacked_gradients
cargo run --example radial_gradients
```

Most of the code except the components API is contained within the `bevy_ui/src/render/linear_gradients` module.
There are no changes to any existing systems or plugins except for the addition of the gradients rendering systems to the render world schedule and the `Val` changes from #18164 .

testbed for UI (#18091)
# Objective

- have a testbed for UI

## Solution

- move previous `ui` example to `full_ui`
- add a testbed ui with several scenes
- `ui_layout_rounding` is one of those scenes, so remove it as a
standalone example

the previous `ui` / new `full_ui` is I think still useful as it has some
things like scroll, debug ui that are not shown anywhere else
