Add support for returning all Component and values to query method in the Bevy Remote Protocol (#19857)
# Objective

We should have an API with filtering to allow BRP clients to retrieve
all relevant data from the world state. Currently working on adding
examples - but reviews are appreciated! Still semi-WIP while I get my
head around bevy’s reflection and implementation :)

## Solution

This change adds support to query all entities in the world, and returns
all of their Reflected Components with corresponding values. For custom
`Components` it's important to still implement `Reflect` so that this
endpoint returns these. This will be useful for the
`bevy_entity_inspector` so that we can easily get the current world
state. We have modified the existing query API
so that clients can now pass in an empty `components[]` on the JSON
request.

## Testing

Updated example to showcase how to use the new endpoint to get all data:
```rust
/// Create a query_all request to send to the remote Bevy app.
/// This request will return all entities in the app, their components, and their
/// component values.
fn run_query_all_components_and_entities(url: String) -> Result<(), anyhow::Error> {
    let query_all_req = BrpRequest {
        jsonrpc: String::from("2.0"),
        method: String::from(BRP_QUERY_METHOD),
        id: Some(serde_json::to_value(1)?),
        params: None,
    };
    println!("query_all req: {:#?}", query_all_req);
    let query_all_res = ureq::post(&url)
        .send_json(query_all_req)?
        .body_mut()
        .read_json::<serde_json::Value>()?;
    println!("{query_all_res:#}");
    Ok(())
}
```

---

## Showcase
In the `client.rs` example, we can clearly see (assuming the `server.rs`
is running) a query hit for all entities and components:
```text
query_all req: BrpRequest {
    jsonrpc: "2.0",
    method: "bevy/query",
    id: Some(
        Number(1),
    ),
    params: Some(
        Object {
            "data": Object {
                "components": Array [],
                "has": Array [],
                "option": Array [],
            },
            "filter": Object {
                "with": Array [],
                "without": Array [],
            },
            "strict": Bool(false),
        },
    ),
}
```

And in the massive response:

What's also really cool about this and `bevy_reflect` is that we also
get custom components returned as well (see below for `"server::Cube":
1.0` as the custom reflected struct specified in `server.rs`:

```text

      "components": {
        "bevy_render::primitives::Aabb": {
          "center": [

          ],
          "half_extents": [
            0.5,
            0.5,
            0.5
          ]
        },
        "bevy_render::view::visibility::InheritedVisibility": true,
        "bevy_render::view::visibility::ViewVisibility": true,
        "bevy_render::view::visibility::Visibility": "Inherited",
        "bevy_transform::components::global_transform::GlobalTransform": [
          1.0,
          0.0,
          0.0,
          0.0,
          1.0,
          0.0,
          0.0,
          0.0,
          1.0,
          0.0,
          2.4572744369506836,
          0.0
        ],
        "bevy_transform::components::transform::Transform": {
          "rotation": [
            0.0,
            0.0,
            0.0,

        },
        "bevy_transform::components::transform::TransformTreeChanged": null,
        "server::Cube": 1.0
      },
```
