Feature: Directional lighting support for QGIS 3D

Added directional lights to QGIS 3D

• Now the user can add directional lights to the 3D views.
• I added a tab widget under the lights section of the 3D configuration dialog.
• The user can specify the direction of the light, its color and intensity.
• This is just a duplication of the already existing point lights implementation with some changes.
• Later it may be useful to add a way to visualize the light direction by displaying a mesh that is positioned at camera's view point like an arrow that displays how the sun lights the scene for example.
