Gino Valente 02fbf16c80 bevy_reflect: Add Reflect::into_reflect (#6502)
# Objective

Using `Reflect` we can easily switch between a specific reflection trait object, such as a `dyn Struct`, to a `dyn Reflect` object via `Reflect::as_reflect` or `Reflect::as_reflect_mut`.

```rust
fn do_something(value: &dyn Reflect) {/* ... */}

let foo: Box<dyn Struct> = Box::new(Foo::default());
do_something(foo.as_reflect());
```

However, there is no way to convert a _boxed_ reflection trait object to a `Box<dyn Reflect>`.

## Solution

Add a `Reflect::into_reflect` method which allows converting a boxed reflection trait object back into a boxed `Reflect` trait object.

```rust
fn do_something(value: Box<dyn Reflect>) {/* ... */}

let foo: Box<dyn Struct> = Box::new(Foo::default());
do_something(foo.into_reflect());
```
