Allow choice of up/forward axis for 3d point model symbols

PR Description:

Description

Instead of always assuming the model file has been created using a z up, y forward axis convention, expose settings to allow users to manually set the forward and up axis.

Makes it easier to use random obj files downloaded from the internet as 3d point symbols in QGIS. Previously you could kind of work around this by rotating the symbol, but forcing that means that you can't reuse the rotation/scale values (or data defined expressions) that your other 3d point symbols use...
