Add methods to directly load assets from World (#12023)
# Objective

`FromWorld` is often used to group loading and creation of assets for
resources.

With this setup, users often end up repetitively calling
`.resource::<AssetServer>` and `.resource_mut::<Assets<T>>`, and may
have difficulties handling lifetimes of the returned references.

## Solution

Add extension methods to `World` to add and load assets, through a new
extension trait defined in `bevy_asset`.

### Other considerations

* This might be a bit too "magic", as it makes implicit the resource
access.
* We could also implement `DirectAssetAccessExt` on `App`, but it didn't
feel necessary, as `FromWorld` is the principal use-case here.

---

## Changelog

* Add the `DirectAssetAccessExt` trait, which adds the `add_asset`,
`load_asset` and `load_asset_with_settings` method to the `World` type.
