Add a method to rotate a transform to point towards a direction.

Also updated the docs to link to forward and up instead of mentioning local negative Z and local Y.

Unfortunately, links to methods don't work in rust-analyzer :(

Docs could be clearer: it's hard when reading to understand how this compares and contrasts to Transform::look_at.

IMO we should also keep the local z etc explanations, probably in parentheticals.

This is already documented on the linked methods. I'd rather avoid repeating the documentation.
Although, since rust-analyzer doesn't support these links it does kinda suck. hmmmm

look_at docs: "Transform::forward points towards the target position"
look_to docs: "Transform::forward points towards the given direction"
I'm not sure how to make that more clear. Method names match glam.

Ah, I see! Hard without changing the names. look_to feels like look_in_direction to me? Yeah okay, I'm happy enough with this as is. The method itself is quite useful!

I feel my suggestion (in to replace towards) makes the difference more obvious, and clearer at least for me. Looking towards a position, looking in a direction
