[X3D-Ecosystem] Blender XML read/write, codename Blixemel

[John Carlson]

Note that I’ve been accepting changes to handle FBX/glTF armatures, and
they might not apply to other armatures.  If someone wants me to use a
different type of imported armature, please provide a .blend test case.   I
imagine that there will be a USDSkel and MPFB2 plugin eventually, depending
on how Blender upgrades go.  Apparently, my version of MPFB2 didn’t work
with Blender 5.0.   Note that I’m strictly working with .blend native files.

I am mildly optimistic that we can use my exporter as a PBR sample export
for X3D.

I hope to report progress on Feb 13th
