Switch ChildOf back to tuple struct (#18672)
# Objective

In #17905 we swapped to a named field on `ChildOf` to help resolve
variable naming ambiguity of child vs parent (ex: `child_of.parent`
clearly reads as "I am accessing the parent of the child_of
relationship", whereas `child_of.0` is less clear).

Unfortunately this has the side effect of making initialization less
ideal. `ChildOf { parent }` reads just as well as `ChildOf(parent)`, but
`ChildOf { parent: root }` doesn't read nearly as well as
`ChildOf(root)`.

## Solution

Move back to `ChildOf(pub Entity)` but add a `child_of.parent()`
function and use it for all accesses. The downside here is that users
are no longer "forced" to access the parent field with `parent`
nomenclature, but I think this strikes the right balance.

Take a look at the diff. I think the results provide strong evidence for
this change. Initialization has the benefit of reading much better _and_
of taking up significantly less space, as many lines go from 3 to 1, and
we're cutting out a bunch of syntax in some cases.

Sadly I do think this should land in 0.16 as the cost of doing this
_after_ the relationships migration is high.

bevy_reflect: Add clone registrations project-wide (#18307)
# Objective

Now that #13432 has been merged, it's important we update our reflected
types to properly opt into this feature. If we do not, then this could
cause issues for users downstream who want to make use of
reflection-based cloning.

## Solution

This PR is broken into 4 commits:

1. Add `#[reflect(Clone)]` on all types marked `#[reflect(opaque)]` that
are also `Clone`. This is mandatory as these types would otherwise cause
the cloning operation to fail for any type that contains it at any
depth.
2. Update the reflection example to suggest adding `#[reflect(Clone)]`
on opaque types.
3. Add `#[reflect(clone)]` attributes on all fields marked
`#[reflect(ignore)]` that are also `Clone`. This prevents the ignored
field from causing the cloning operation to fail.
   
Note that some of the types that contain these fields are also `Clone`,
and thus can be marked `#[reflect(Clone)]`. This makes the
`#[reflect(clone)]` attribute redundant. However, I think it's safer to
keep it marked in the case that the `Clone` impl/derive is ever removed.
I'm open to removing them, though, if people disagree.
4. Finally, I added `#[reflect(Clone)]` on all types that are also
`Clone`. While not strictly necessary, it enables us to reduce the
generated output since we can just call `Clone::clone` directly instead
of calling `PartialReflect::reflect_clone` on each variant/field. It
also means we benefit from any optimizations or customizations made in
the `Clone` impl, including directly dereferencing `Copy` values and
increasing reference counters.

Along with that change I also took the liberty of adding any missing
registrations that I saw could be applied to the type as well, such as
`Default`, `PartialEq`, and `Hash`. There were hundreds of these to
edit, though, so it's possible I missed quite a few.

That last commit is **_massive_**. There were nearly 700 types to
update. So it's recommended to review the first three before moving onto
that last one.

Additionally, I can break the last commit off into its own PR or into
smaller PRs, but I figured this would be the easiest way of doing it
(and in a timely manner since I unfortunately don't have as much time as
I used to for code contributions).

## Testing

You can test locally with a `cargo check`:

```
cargo check --workspace --all-features
```

Change ChildOf to Childof { parent: Entity} and support deriving Relationship and RelationshipTarget with named structs (#17905)
# Objective

fixes #17896 

## Solution

Change ChildOf ( Entity ) to ChildOf { parent: Entity }

by doing this we also allow users to use named structs for relationship
derives, When you have more than 1 field in a struct with named fields
the macro will look for a field with the attribute #[relationship] and
all of the other fields should implement the Default trait. Unnamed
fields are still supported.

When u have a unnamed struct with more than one field the macro will
fail.
Do we want to support something like this ? 

```rust
 #[derive(Component)]
 #[relationship_target(relationship = ChildOf)]
 pub struct Children (#[relationship] Entity, u8);
```
I could add this, it but doesn't seem nice.
## Testing

crates/bevy_ecs - cargo test


## Showcase


```rust

use bevy_ecs::component::Component;
use bevy_ecs::entity::Entity;

 #[derive(Component)]
 #[relationship(relationship_target = Children)]
 pub struct ChildOf {
     #[relationship]
     pub parent: Entity,
     internal: u8,
 };

 #[derive(Component)]
 #[relationship_target(relationship = ChildOf)]
 pub struct Children {
     children: Vec<Entity>
 };

```

Store UI render target info locally per node (#17579)
# Objective

It's difficult to understand or make changes to the UI systems because
of how each system needs to individually track changes to scale factor,
windows and camera targets in local hashmaps, particularly for new
contributors. Any major change inevitably introduces new scale factor
bugs.

Instead of per-system resolution we can resolve the camera target info
for all UI nodes in a system at the start of `PostUpdate` and then store
it per-node in components that can be queried with change detection.

Fixes #17578
Fixes #15143

## Solution

Store the UI render target's data locally per node in a component that
is updated in `PostUpdate` before any other UI systems run.

This component can be then be queried with change detection so that UI
systems no longer need to have knowledge of cameras and windows and
don't require fragile custom change detection solutions using local
hashmaps.

## Showcase
Compare `measure_text_system` from main (which has a bug the causes it
to use the wrong scale factor when a node's camera target changes):
```
pub fn measure_text_system(
    mut scale_factors_buffer: Local<EntityHashMap<f32>>,

                entity,
                &fonts,
                scale_factor.into(),

        }
    }
    core::mem::swap(&mut *last_scale_factors, &mut *scale_factors_buffer);
}
```

with `measure_text_system` from this PR (which always uses the correct
scale factor):
```
pub fn measure_text_system(
    fonts: Res<Assets<Font>>,
    mut text_query: Query<
        (
            Entity,

) {
    for (entity, block, content_size, text_flags, computed, computed_target) in &mut text_query {
        // Note: the ComputedTextBlock::needs_rerender bool is cleared in create_text_measure().
        if computed_target.is_changed()
            || computed.needs_rerender()
            || text_flags.needs_measure_fn
            || content_size.is_added()
        {
            create_text_measure(
                entity,
                &fonts,
                computed_target.scale_factor.into(),
                text_reader.iter(entity),
                block,
                &mut text_pipeline,
                content_size,
                text_flags,
                computed,
                &mut font_system,
            );
        }
    }
}
```

## Testing

I removed an alarming number of tests from the `layout` module but they
were mostly to do with the deleted camera synchronisation logic. The
remaining tests should all pass now.

The most relevant examples are `multiple_windows` and `split_screen`,
the behaviour of both should be unchanged from main.

Improved Spawn APIs and Bundle Effects (#17521)
## Objective

A major critique of Bevy at the moment is how boilerplatey it is to
compose (and read) entity hierarchies:

```rust
commands
    .spawn(Foo)
    .with_children(|p| {
        p.spawn(Bar).with_children(|p| {
            p.spawn(Baz);
        });
        p.spawn(Bar).with_children(|p| {
            p.spawn(Baz);
        });
    });
```

There is also currently no good way to statically define and return an
entity hierarchy from a function. Instead, people often do this
"internally" with a Commands function that returns nothing, making it
impossible to spawn the hierarchy in other cases (direct World spawns,
ChildSpawner, etc).

Additionally, because this style of API results in creating the
hierarchy bits _after_ the initial spawn of a bundle, it causes ECS
archetype changes (and often expensive table moves).

Because children are initialized after the fact, we also can't count
them to pre-allocate space. This means each time a child inserts itself,
it has a high chance of overflowing the currently allocated capacity in
the `RelationshipTarget` collection, causing literal worst-case
reallocations.

We can do better!

## Solution

The Bundle trait has been extended to support an optional
`BundleEffect`. This is applied directly to World immediately _after_
the Bundle has fully inserted. Note that this is
[intentionally](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/16920)
_not done via a deferred Command_, which would require repeatedly
copying each remaining subtree of the hierarchy to a new command as we
walk down the tree (_not_ good performance).

This allows us to implement the new `SpawnRelated` trait for all
`RelationshipTarget` impls, which looks like this in practice:

```rust
world.spawn((
    Foo,
    Children::spawn((
        Spawn((
            Bar,
            Children::spawn(Spawn(Baz)),
        )),
        Spawn((
            Bar,
            Children::spawn(Spawn(Baz)),
        )),
    ))
))
```

`Children::spawn` returns `SpawnRelatedBundle<Children, L:
SpawnableList>`, which is a `Bundle` that inserts `Children`
(preallocated to the size of the `SpawnableList::size_hint()`).
`Spawn<B: Bundle>(pub B)` implements `SpawnableList` with a size of 1.
`SpawnableList` is also implemented for tuples of `SpawnableList` (same
general pattern as the Bundle impl).

There are currently three built-in `SpawnableList` implementations:

```rust
world.spawn((
    Foo,
    Children::spawn((
        Spawn(Name::new("Child1")),   
        SpawnIter(["Child2", "Child3"].into_iter().map(Name::new),
        SpawnWith(|parent: &mut ChildSpawner| {
            parent.spawn(Name::new("Child4"));
            parent.spawn(Name::new("Child5"));
        })
    )),
))
```

We get the benefits of "structured init", but we have nice flexibility
where it is required!

Some readers' first instinct might be to try to remove the need for the
`Spawn` wrapper. This is impossible in the Rust type system, as a tuple
of "child Bundles to be spawned" and a "tuple of Components to be added
via a single Bundle" is ambiguous in the Rust type system. There are two
ways to resolve that ambiguity:

1. By adding support for variadics to the Rust type system (removing the
need for nested bundles). This is out of scope for this PR :)
2. Using wrapper types to resolve the ambiguity (this is what I did in
this PR).

For the single-entity spawn cases, `Children::spawn_one` does also
exist, which removes the need for the wrapper:

```rust
world.spawn((
    Foo,
    Children::spawn_one(Bar),
))
```

## This works for all Relationships

This API isn't just for `Children` / `ChildOf` relationships. It works
for any relationship type, and they can be mixed and matched!

```rust
world.spawn((
    Foo,
    Observers::spawn((
        Spawn(Observer::new(|trigger: Trigger<FuseLit>| {})),
        Spawn(Observer::new(|trigger: Trigger<Exploded>| {})),
    )),
    OwnerOf::spawn(Spawn(Bar))
    Children::spawn(Spawn(Baz))
))
```

## Macros

While `Spawn` is necessary to satisfy the type system, we _can_ remove
the need to express it via macros. The example above can be expressed
more succinctly using the new `children![X]` macro, which internally
produces `Children::spawn(Spawn(X))`:

```rust
world.spawn((
    Foo,
    children![
        (
            Bar,
            children![Baz],
        ),
        (
            Bar,
            children![Baz],
        ),
    ]
))
```

There is also a `related!` macro, which is a generic version of the
`children!` macro that supports any relationship type:

```rust
world.spawn((
    Foo,
    related!(Children[
        (
            Bar,
            related!(Children[Baz]),
        ),
        (
            Bar,
            related!(Children[Baz]),
        ),
    ])
))
```

## Returning Hierarchies from Functions

Thanks to these changes, the following pattern is now possible:

```rust
fn button(text: &str, color: Color) -> impl Bundle {
    (
        Node {
            width: Val::Px(300.),
            height: Val::Px(100.),
            ..default()
        },
        BackgroundColor(color),
        children![
            Text::new(text),
        ]
    )
}

fn ui() -> impl Bundle {
    (
        Node {
            width: Val::Percent(100.0),
            height: Val::Percent(100.0),
            ..default(),
        },
        children![
            button("hello", BLUE),
            button("world", RED),
        ]
    )
}

// spawn from a system
fn system(mut commands: Commands) {
    commands.spawn(ui());
}

// spawn directly on World
world.spawn(ui());
```

## Additional Changes and Notes

* `Bundle::from_components` has been split out into
`BundleFromComponents::from_components`, enabling us to implement
`Bundle` for types that cannot be "taken" from the ECS (such as the new
`SpawnRelatedBundle`).
* The `NoBundleEffect` trait (which implements `BundleEffect`) is
implemented for empty tuples (and tuples of empty tuples), which allows
us to constrain APIs to only accept bundles that do not have effects.
This is critical because the current batch spawn APIs cannot efficiently
apply BundleEffects in their current form (as doing so in-place could
invalidate the cached raw pointers). We could consider allocating a
buffer of the effects to be applied later, but that does have
performance implications that could offset the balance and value of the
batched APIs (and would likely require some refactors to the underlying
code). I've decided to be conservative here. We can consider relaxing
that requirement on those APIs later, but that should be done in a
followup imo.
* I've ported a few examples to illustrate real-world usage. I think in
a followup we should port all examples to the `children!` form whenever
possible (and for cases that require things like SpawnIter, use the raw
APIs).
* Some may ask "why not use the `Relationship` to spawn (ex:
`ChildOf::spawn(Foo)`) instead of the `RelationshipTarget` (ex:
`Children::spawn(Spawn(Foo))`)?". That _would_ allow us to remove the
`Spawn` wrapper. I've explicitly chosen to disallow this pattern.
`Bundle::Effect` has the ability to create _significant_ weirdness.
Things in `Bundle` position look like components. For example
`world.spawn((Foo, ChildOf::spawn(Bar)))` _looks and reads_ like Foo is
a child of Bar. `ChildOf` is in Foo's "component position" but it is not
a component on Foo. This is a huge problem. Now that `Bundle::Effect`
exists, we should be _very_ principled about keeping the "weird and
unintuitive behavior" to a minimum. Things that read like components
_should be the components they appear to be".

## Remaining Work

* The macros are currently trivially implemented using macro_rules and
are currently limited to the max tuple length. They will require a
proc_macro implementation to work around the tuple length limit.

## Next Steps

* Port the remaining examples to use `children!` where possible and raw
`Spawn` / `SpawnIter` / `SpawnWith` where the flexibility of the raw API
is required.

## Migration Guide

Existing spawn patterns will continue to work as expected.

Manual Bundle implementations now require a `BundleEffect` associated
type. Exisiting bundles would have no bundle effect, so use `()`.
Additionally `Bundle::from_components` has been moved to the new
`BundleFromComponents` trait.

```rust
// Before
unsafe impl Bundle for X {
    unsafe fn from_components<T, F>(ctx: &mut T, func: &mut F) -> Self {
    }
    /* remaining bundle impl here */
}

// After
unsafe impl Bundle for X {
    type Effect = ();
    /* remaining bundle impl here */
}

unsafe impl BundleFromComponents for X {
    unsafe fn from_components<T, F>(ctx: &mut T, func: &mut F) -> Self {
    }
}
```

Change GhostNode into a unit type (#17692)
# Objective

The feature gates for the `UiChildren` and `UiRootNodes` system params
make the unconstructable `GhostNode` `PhantomData` trick redundant.


## Solution

Remove the `GhostNode::new` method and change `GhostNode` into a unit
struct.

## Testing

```cargo run --example ghost_nodes```

Parent -> ChildOf (#17427)
Fixes #17412

## Objective

`Parent` uses the "has a X" naming convention. There is increasing
sentiment that we should use the "is a X" naming convention for
relationships (following #17398). This leaves `Children` as-is because
there is prevailing sentiment that `Children` is clearer than `ParentOf`
in many cases (especially when treating it like a collection).

This renames `Parent` to `ChildOf`.

This is just the implementation PR. To discuss the path forward, do so
in #17412.

## Migration Guide

- The `Parent` component has been renamed to `ChildOf`.

Relationships (non-fragmenting, one-to-many) (#17398)
This adds support for one-to-many non-fragmenting relationships (with
planned paths for fragmenting and non-fragmenting many-to-many
relationships). "Non-fragmenting" means that entities with the same
relationship type, but different relationship targets, are not forced
into separate tables (which would cause "table fragmentation").

Functionally, this fills a similar niche as the current Parent/Children
system. The biggest differences are:

1. Relationships have simpler internals and significantly improved
performance and UX. Commands and specialized APIs are no longer
necessary to keep everything in sync. Just spawn entities with the
relationship components you want and everything "just works".
2. Relationships are generalized. Bevy can provide additional built in
relationships, and users can define their own.

**REQUEST TO REVIEWERS**: _please don't leave top level comments and
instead comment on specific lines of code. That way we can take
advantage of threaded discussions. Also dont leave comments simply
pointing out CI failures as I can read those just fine._

## Built on top of what we have

Relationships are implemented on top of the Bevy ECS features we already
have: components, immutability, and hooks. This makes them immediately
compatible with all of our existing (and future) APIs for querying,
spawning, removing, scenes, reflection, etc. The fewer specialized APIs
we need to build, maintain, and teach, the better.

## Why focus on one-to-many non-fragmenting first?

1. This allows us to improve Parent/Children relationships immediately,
in a way that is reasonably uncontroversial. Switching our hierarchy to
fragmenting relationships would have significant performance
implications. ~~Flecs is heavily considering a switch to non-fragmenting
relations after careful considerations of the performance tradeoffs.~~
_(Correction from @SanderMertens: Flecs is implementing non-fragmenting
storage specialized for asset hierarchies, where asset hierarchies are
many instances of small trees that have a well defined structure)_
2. Adding generalized one-to-many relationships is currently a priority
for the [Next Generation Scene / UI
effort](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/14437).
Specifically, we're interested in building reactions and observers on
top.

## The changes

This PR does the following:

1. Adds a generic one-to-many Relationship system
3. Ports the existing Parent/Children system to Relationships, which now
lives in `bevy_ecs::hierarchy`. The old `bevy_hierarchy` crate has been
removed.
4. Adds on_despawn component hooks
5. Relationships can opt-in to "despawn descendants" behavior, meaning
that the entire relationship hierarchy is despawned when
`entity.despawn()` is called. The built in Parent/Children hierarchies
enable this behavior, and `entity.despawn_recursive()` has been removed.
6. `world.spawn` now applies commands after spawning. This ensures that
relationship bookkeeping happens immediately and removes the need to
manually flush. This is in line with the equivalent behaviors recently
added to the other APIs (ex: insert).
7. Removes the ValidParentCheckPlugin (system-driven / poll based) in
favor of a `validate_parent_has_component` hook.

## Using Relationships

The `Relationship` trait looks like this:

```rust
pub trait Relationship: Component + Sized {
    type RelationshipSources: RelationshipSources<Relationship = Self>;
    fn get(&self) -> Entity;
    fn from(entity: Entity) -> Self;
}
```

A relationship is a component that:

1. Is a simple wrapper over a "target" Entity.
2. Has a corresponding `RelationshipSources` component, which is a
simple wrapper over a collection of entities. Every "target entity"
targeted by a "source entity" with a `Relationship` has a
`RelationshipSources` component, which contains every "source entity"
that targets it.

For example, the `Parent` component (as it currently exists in Bevy) is
the `Relationship` component and the entity containing the Parent is the
"source entity". The entity _inside_ the `Parent(Entity)` component is
the "target entity". And that target entity has a `Children` component
(which implements `RelationshipSources`).

In practice, the Parent/Children relationship looks like this:

```rust
#[derive(Relationship)]
#[relationship(relationship_sources = Children)]
pub struct Parent(pub Entity);

#[derive(RelationshipSources)]
#[relationship_sources(relationship = Parent)]
pub struct Children(Vec<Entity>);
```

The Relationship and RelationshipSources derives automatically implement
Component with the relevant configuration (namely, the hooks necessary
to keep everything in sync).

The most direct way to add relationships is to spawn entities with
relationship components:

```rust
let a = world.spawn_empty().id();
let b = world.spawn(Parent(a)).id();

assert_eq!(world.entity(a).get::<Children>().unwrap(), &[b]);
```

There are also convenience APIs for spawning more than one entity with
the same relationship:

```rust
world.spawn_empty().with_related::<Children>(|s| {
    s.spawn_empty();
    s.spawn_empty();
})
```

The existing `with_children` API is now a simpler wrapper over
`with_related`. This makes this change largely non-breaking for existing
spawn patterns.

```rust
world.spawn_empty().with_children(|s| {
    s.spawn_empty();
    s.spawn_empty();
})
```

There are also other relationship APIs, such as `add_related` and
`despawn_related`.

## Automatic recursive despawn via the new on_despawn hook

`RelationshipSources` can opt-in to "despawn descendants" behavior,
which will despawn all related entities in the relationship hierarchy:

```rust
#[derive(RelationshipSources)]
#[relationship_sources(relationship = Parent, despawn_descendants)]
pub struct Children(Vec<Entity>);
```

This means that `entity.despawn_recursive()` is no longer required.
Instead, just use `entity.despawn()` and the relevant related entities
will also be despawned.

To despawn an entity _without_ despawning its parent/child descendants,
you should remove the `Children` component first, which will also remove
the related `Parent` components:

```rust
entity
    .remove::<Children>()
    .despawn()
```

This builds on the on_despawn hook introduced in this PR, which is fired
when an entity is despawned (before other hooks).

## Relationships are the source of truth

`Relationship` is the _single_ source of truth component.
`RelationshipSources` is merely a reflection of what all the
`Relationship` components say. By embracing this, we are able to
significantly improve the performance of the system as a whole. We can
rely on component lifecycles to protect us against duplicates, rather
than needing to scan at runtime to ensure entities don't already exist
(which results in quadratic runtime). A single source of truth gives us
constant-time inserts. This does mean that we cannot directly spawn
populated `Children` components (or directly add or remove entities from
those components). I personally think this is a worthwhile tradeoff,
both because it makes the performance much better _and_ because it means
theres exactly one way to do things (which is a philosophy we try to
employ for Bevy APIs).

As an aside: treating both sides of the relationship as "equivalent
source of truth relations" does enable building simple and flexible
many-to-many relationships. But this introduces an _inherent_ need to
scan (or hash) to protect against duplicates.
[`evergreen_relations`](https://github.com/EvergreenNest/evergreen_relations)
has a very nice implementation of the "symmetrical many-to-many"
approach. Unfortunately I think the performance issues inherent to that
approach make it a poor choice for Bevy's default relationship system.

## Followup Work

* Discuss renaming `Parent` to `ChildOf`. I refrained from doing that in
this PR to keep the diff reasonable, but I'm personally biased toward
this change (and using that naming pattern generally for relationships).
* [Improved spawning
ergonomics](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/16920)
* Consider adding relationship observers/triggers for "relationship
targets" whenever a source is added or removed. This would replace the
current "hierarchy events" system, which is unused upstream but may have
existing users downstream. I think triggers are the better fit for this
than a buffered event queue, and would prefer not to add that back.
* Fragmenting relations: My current idea hinges on the introduction of
"value components" (aka: components whose type _and_ value determines
their ComponentId, via something like Hashing / PartialEq). By labeling
a Relationship component such as `ChildOf(Entity)` as a "value
component", `ChildOf(e1)` and `ChildOf(e2)` would be considered
"different components". This makes the transition between fragmenting
and non-fragmenting a single flag, and everything else continues to work
as expected.
* Many-to-many support
* Non-fragmenting: We can expand Relationship to be a list of entities
instead of a single entity. I have largely already written the code for
this.
* Fragmenting: With the "value component" impl mentioned above, we get
many-to-many support "for free", as it would allow inserting multiple
copies of a Relationship component with different target entities.

Fixes #3742 (If this PR is merged, I think we should open more targeted
followup issues for the work above, with a fresh tracking issue free of
the large amount of less-directed historical context)
Fixes #17301
Fixes #12235 
Fixes #15299
Fixes #15308 

## Migration Guide

* Replace `ChildBuilder` with `ChildSpawnerCommands`.
* Replace calls to `.set_parent(parent_id)` with
`.insert(Parent(parent_id))`.
* Replace calls to `.replace_children()` with `.remove::<Children>()`
followed by `.add_children()`. Note that you'll need to manually despawn
any children that are not carried over.
* Replace calls to `.despawn_recursive()` with `.despawn()`.
* Replace calls to `.despawn_descendants()` with
`.despawn_related::<Children>()`.
* If you have any calls to `.despawn()` which depend on the children
being preserved, you'll need to remove the `Children` component first.

Simplified UI tree navigation without ghost_nodes (#17143)
# Objective

There is a large performance regression in the UI systems in 0.15
because the `UiChildren` and `UiRootRootNodes` system params (even with
`ghost_nodes` disabled) are really inefficient compared to regular
queries and can trigger a heap allocation with large numbers of
children.

## Solution

Replace the `UiChildren` and `UiRootRootNodes` system params with
simplified versions when the `ghost_nodes` feature is disabled.

Mark ghost nodes as experimental and partially feature flag them (#15961)
# Objective

As discussed in #15341, ghost nodes are a contentious and experimental
feature. In the interest of enabling ecosystem experimentation, we've
decided to keep them in Bevy 0.15.

That said, we don't use them internally, and don't expect third-party
crates to support them. If the experimentation returns a negative result
(they aren't very useful, an alternative design is preferred etc) they
will be removed.

We should clearly communicate this status to users, and make sure that
users don't use ghost nodes in their projects without a very clear
understanding of what they're getting themselves into.

## Solution

To make life easy for users (and Bevy), `GhostNode` and all associated
helpers remain public and are always available.

However, actually constructing these requires enabling a feature flag
that's clearly marked as experimental. To do so, I've added a
meaningless private field.

When the feature flag is enabled, our constructs (`new` and `default`)
can be used. I've added a `new` constructor, which should be preferred
over `Default::default` as that can be readily deprecated, allowing us
to prompt users to swap over to the much nicer `GhostNode` syntax once
this is a unit struct again.

Full credit: this was mostly @cart's design: I'm just implementing it!

## Testing

I've run the ghost_nodes example and it fails to compile without the
feature flag. With the feature flag, it works fine :)
