Description

Currently rigidbody.teleport requires you to set a position if you want to change the orientation. We should provide a method if you only want to change the orientation.

Research direction
Examine the existing `teleport` method implementation in the rigidbody component to understand how it sets position and orientation. Then create a new method that only sets the orientation, likely using the same internal API. Check the issue comments for any additional requirements or concerns.
