Add ability to inspect entity's components (#5136)

# Objective

- Provide a way to see the components of an entity.
- Fixes #1467

## Solution

- Add `World::inspect_entity`. It accepts an `Entity` and returns a vector of `&ComponentInfo` that the entity has.
- Add `EntityCommands::log_components`. It logs the component names of the entity. (info level)

---

## Changelog

### Added
- Ability to inspect components of an entity through `World::inspect_entity` or `EntityCommands::log_components`
