f3d Add a CLI option to generate an animated camera orbit

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. F3D supports loading camera from files and provide a --camera-index CLI option to select it. F3D also support animation which could animation the selected camera. However, many file do not have any camera nor animations.

Lets add a dedicated CLI option to add an animated camera orbit

Suggested implementation

Add a CLI options --camera-orbit that let user specify the time to complete orbit
When used, this will add an animation with good default if there is none, or rely on existing animation if there is some
Add dedicated logic in animationManager::tick to update camera accordingly to camera parameters
Should support loading correctly at any time
Add tests

The idea is to be able to do a simple orbit over time, yes.
