flame Convert Component.positionType into a mixin

Given that .positionType is only used by 2 classes, I suggest moving this field out of the main Component class into a separate mixin. This would reduce the complexity of the class somewhat, and also its size.

It's only used by two of our classes, but removing it increases the complexity for our users, since it is used a lot by them. I also don't think an enum is as expensive as an object, but that should be investigated.

Can you give me an example of how it is used by the users? I thought it was mostly for the internal event processing logic.

People mostly use it to build huds from other components.

Not valid anymore with the use of the CameraComponent.
