[x3d-public] BooleanTrigger example

[Andreas Plesch]

http://x3dom-booleantrigger.glitch.me/BooleanTrigger_test.x3d is the
BooleanTrigger example as a x3d file (still missing the xml declaration).
It works as expected in Octaga 5.0 and view3dscene 3.17 but not in freeWrl
3.0. In freeWrl, the sphere is shown but the light never starts to blink.
