[x3d-public] Converting orientation interpolators

[John Carlson]

Okay.  I got  X3DJSONLD/blend/JoeSkinTexcoordDisplacerKickUpdate3.x3d at
master · coderextreme/X3DJSONLD
<https://github.com/coderextreme/X3DJSONLD/blob/master/blend/JoeSkinTexcoordDisplacerKickUpdate3.x3d>
  and
maleWaving.x3d imports in half decent shape (applying PREF_FLAT=True for
the latter) on Blender import. Jin skin and skeleton load, but there are no
skin weights.  Playing a bunch of animations at the same time is not ideal!

So I have a few approaches to take:

1.  Implement HAnimDisplacer in Joe
2.  Fix ball size in Joe?
3.  Fix Gramps animations (perhaps by transforming interpolators)
4.  Add Segment and Site geometry for JIn (This may be a puzzle if we are
using bones.
5, Make the PREF_FLAT boolean an import option.
6. Work on chaining animations for Jin.

What I don't know quite what to do is figure out which end of the bones I
should animate.  Since I switched head and tail centers am I animating the
wrong joint?

I'll send glTF pictures in a bit.

What really slowed me down was integrating the updates from other people.
Now I know I can do git fetch and git merge after trying get rebase.
