Nicola Papale 689eab6fb7 Add an extension trait to EntityCommands to update hierarchy while preserving GlobalTransform (#7024)
# Objective

It is often necessary  to update an entity's parent
while keeping its GlobalTransform static. Currently
it is cumbersome and error-prone (two questions in
the discord `#help` channel in the past week)

- Part 2, resolves #5475
- Builds on: #7020.

## Solution

- Added the `BuildChildrenTransformExt` trait, it is part
  of `bevy::prelude` and adds the following methods to `EntityCommands`:
  - `set_parent_in_place`: Change the parent of an entity and
    update its `Transform` in order to preserve its `GlobalTransform` after the parent change
  - `remove_parent_in_place`: Remove an entity from a hierarchy,
    while preserving its `GlobalTransform`.

Bevy Transform

This crate is largely a 1:1 port from legion_transform (ecs: legion, math: nalgebra) to bevy (ecs: bevy_ecs, math: glam)
