Research direction

Start in src/view.cpp around the NavigateStyle enum and search the repository for every other use of that enum. Trace how the existing navigation modes are selected and applied. Done means a first-person-style camera mode is available anywhere navigation style is configured and does not break the existing modes.

Description

enhancement good first issue

Add a camera mode which offers first-person-style navigation.

This should hopefully straightforward by adding another NavigateStyle option everywhere that enum appears (e.g. https://github.com/nmwsharp/polyscope/blob/master/src/view.cpp#L69)
