3555603df1 example on how to create an animation in code (#4399)
# Objective

- Animation can be used outside of glTF, but are not obvious on how to create them

## Solution

- Add an example creating an animation

449a1d223c animation player (#4375)
# Objective

- Add a basic animation player
  - Single track
  - Not generic, can only animate `Transform`s
  - With plenty of possible optimisations available
  - Close-ish to https://github.com/bevyengine/rfcs/pull/49
- https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/774027865020039209/958820063148929064

## Solution

- Can play animations
  - looping or not
- Can pause animations
- Can seek in animation
- Can alter speed of animation
- I also removed the previous gltf animation example

31bd4ecbbc Mesh Skinning. Attempt #3 (#4238)
# Objective
Load skeletal weights and indices from GLTF files. Animate meshes.

## Solution
 - Load skeletal weights and indices from GLTF files.
 - Added `SkinnedMesh` component and ` SkinnedMeshInverseBindPose` asset
 - Added `extract_skinned_meshes` to extract joint matrices.
 - Added queue phase systems for enqueuing the buffer writes.

Some notes:

 -  This ports part of # #2359 to the current main.
 -  This generates new `BufferVec`s and bind groups every frame. The expectation here is that the number of `Query::get` calls during extract is probably going to be the stronger bottleneck, with up to 256 calls per skinned mesh. Until that is optimized, caching buffers and bind groups is probably a non-concern.
 - Unfortunately, due to the uniform size requirements, this means a 16KB buffer is allocated for every skinned mesh every frame. There's probably a few ways to get around this, but most of them require either compute shaders or storage buffers, which are both incompatible with WebGL2.
