6403	Add a centering option when saving GLTF	phil.cruz@…	Tom Goddard	"Phil Cruz mentioned in today's NIAID / ChimeraX meeting that he needed to shift the origin for a ChimeraX RNA polymerase model exported as GLTF because it was positioned far from 0,0,0 and the GLTF viewer he was using wanted to center and rotate about 0,0,0.  Elaine explained how to fix this problem with the ""move"" command after determining the coordinates of the center.

Would be useful if the GLTF export could shift the scene so 0,0,0 is at the center of the bounding box of the models.  Maybe this should even be the default.

Another case where recentering is sometimes desirable is solvating a protein for MD where the box solvating code is happier if the molecule is centered at 0,0,0.
