Refactor Bounded2d/Bounded3d to use isometries (#14485)
# Objective

Previously, this area of bevy_math used raw translation and rotations to
encode isometries, which did not exist earlier. The goal of this PR is
to make the codebase of bevy_math more harmonious by using actual
isometries (`Isometry2d`/`Isometry3d`) in these places instead — this
will hopefully make the interfaces more digestible for end-users, in
addition to facilitating conversions.

For instance, together with the addition of #14478, this means that a
bounding box for a collider with an isometric `Transform` can be
computed as
```rust
collider.aabb_3d(collider_transform.to_isometry())
```
instead of using manual destructuring. 

## Solution

- The traits `Bounded2d` and `Bounded3d` now use `Isometry2d` and
`Isometry3d` (respectively) instead of `translation` and `rotation`
parameters; e.g.:
  ```rust
  /// A trait with methods that return 3D bounding volumes for a shape.
  pub trait Bounded3d {
/// Get an axis-aligned bounding box for the shape translated and
rotated by the given isometry.
      fn aabb_3d(&self, isometry: Isometry3d) -> Aabb3d;
/// Get a bounding sphere for the shape translated and rotated by the
given isometry.
      fn bounding_sphere(&self, isometry: Isometry3d) -> BoundingSphere;
  }
  ```
- Similarly, the `from_point_cloud` constructors for axis-aligned
bounding boxes and bounding circles/spheres now take isometries instead
of separate `translation` and `rotation`; e.g.:
  ```rust
/// Computes the smallest [`Aabb3d`] containing the given set of points,
/// transformed by the rotation and translation of the given isometry.
    ///
    /// # Panics
    ///
    /// Panics if the given set of points is empty.
    #[inline(always)]
    pub fn from_point_cloud(
        isometry: Isometry3d,
        points: impl Iterator<Item = impl Into<Vec3A>>,
    ) -> Aabb3d { //... }
  ```

This has a couple additional results:
1. The end-user no longer interacts directly with `Into<Vec3A>` or
`Into<Rot2>` parameters; these conversions all happen earlier now,
inside the isometry types.
2. Similarly, almost all intermediate `Vec3 -> Vec3A` conversions have
been eliminated from the `Bounded3d` implementations for primitives.
This probably has some performance benefit, but I have not measured it
as of now.

## Testing

Existing unit tests help ensure that nothing has been broken in the
refactor.

## Migration Guide

The `Bounded2d` and `Bounded3d` traits now take `Isometry2d` and
`Isometry3d` parameters (respectively) instead of separate translation
and rotation arguments. Existing calls to `aabb_2d`, `bounding_circle`,
`aabb_3d`, and `bounding_sphere` will have to be changed to use
isometries instead. A straightforward conversion is to refactor just by
calling `Isometry2d/3d::new`, as follows:
```rust
// Old:
let aabb = my_shape.aabb_2d(my_translation, my_rotation);

// New:
let aabb = my_shape.aabb_2d(Isometry2d::new(my_translation, my_rotation));
```

However, if the old translation and rotation are 3d
translation/rotations originating from a `Transform` or
`GlobalTransform`, then `to_isometry` may be used instead. For example:
```rust
// Old:
let bounding_sphere = my_shape.bounding_sphere(shape_transform.translation, shape_transform.rotation);

// New:
let bounding_sphere = my_shape.bounding_sphere(shape_transform.to_isometry());
```

This discussion also applies to the `from_point_cloud` construction
method of `Aabb2d`/`BoundingCircle`/`Aabb3d`/`BoundingSphere`, which has
similarly been altered to use isometries.
