Zoey 4820917af6 Add set_if_neq method to DetectChanges trait (Rebased) (#6853)
# Objective

Change detection can be spuriously triggered by setting a field to the same value as before. As a result, a common pattern is to write:

```rust
if *foo != value {
  *foo = value;
}
```

This is confusing to read, and heavy on boilerplate.

Adopted from #5373, but untangled and rebased to current `bevy/main`.

## Solution

    1. Add a method to the `DetectChanges` trait that implements this boilerplate when the appropriate trait bounds are met.

    2. Document this minor footgun, and point users to it.


## Changelog

    * added the `set_if_neq` method to avoid triggering change detection when the new and previous values are equal. This will work on both components and resources.


## Migration Guide

If you are manually checking if a component or resource's value is equal to its new value before setting it to avoid triggering change detection, migrate to the clearer and more convenient `set_if_neq` method.
## Context

Related to #2363 as it avoids triggering change detection, but not a complete solution (as it still requires triggering it when real changes are made).
