[x3d-public] Convert to X3D (from glTF, OBJ, STL, Collada, ...) and change X3D encodings using online Castle Game Engine converter

[Michalis Kamburelis]

- We indeed do not support glTF 1.0, only glTF 2.0.

- BrainStem.gltf should definitely work, it is just large. Since we
convert into text encodings (X3D classic or X3D XML), in a lot of
cases the resulting data is just huge and takes a while to write.

- I fixed including tovrmlx3d binary in package, it will appear
shortly in snapshots on https://castle-engine.io/view3dscene.php .

Regards,
Michalis
