Add flip_y_up_to_z_up method to Matrix4

[FredrikNoren]

This is for converting between models which often come in a y-up coordinate system (maya) and game which often use a z-up system.

Aha, interesting! Will have to think about what the best API/naming should be

[FredrikNoren]

Yeah I was going back and fort a bit. Maybe something like just flip_yz is
easier

How likely is it that there are other coordinate systems? And will we need this for the other transformation types? cc. @mhintz

I think y vs z up is the most common issue.
https://www.reallusion.com/iclone/help/3dxchange5/pro/05_Export/Y_Up_or_Z_Up.htm
for instance. Generally it seems like many 3D tools (but not all) use y up
whereas game engines are split between them (unity uses y and unreal z)
