This makes it possible for materials to configure front or back face culling, or disable culling. Initially I looked at specializing the Mesh which currently controls this state but conceptually it seems more appropriate to control this at the material level, not the mesh level. _Just for reference this also seems to be consistent with Unity where materials/shaders can configure the culling mode between front/back/off - as opposed to configuring any culling state when importing a mesh._ After some archaeology, trying to understand how this might relate to the existing 'double_sided' option, it was determined that double_sided is a more high level lighting option originally from Filament that will cause the normals for back faces to be flipped. For sake of avoiding complexity, but keeping control this currently keeps the options orthogonal, and adds some clarifying documentation for `double_sided`. This won't affect any existing apps since there hasn't been a way to disable backface culling up until now, so the option was essentially redundant. double_sided support could potentially be updated to imply disabling of backface culling.

err, actually I apparently just force pushed redundantly without including the cargo fmt changes - this time hopefully actually includes the CI fix. |

Would this fix #3729? |
|
I think we could probably close that if this were merged. Maybe But with cull mode exposed for the user, it may not be an issue, and my motivation for opening the bug would be resolved at least. |

I think the main difference here is that this patch handles RenderPipelineDescriptor specialization directly within the StandardMaterial implementation instead of communicating info back to the Mesh via the `queue_material_meshes` system. With the way material.rs builds up the final RenderPipelineDescriptor first by calling specialize for the MeshPipeline followed by specialize for the material then it seems like we have a natural place to override anything in the descriptor that's first configured for the mesh state.
