Add Shear(Skew) operation to BABYLON.Matrix()

Feature requests

Hello,

I am currently working on implementing a path tracing renderer using the Babylon.js library:
Babylon PathTracing Renderer

Here’s a link to the forum where it all started.

I noticed that currently there is not a shear(skew) matrix operation in the Babylon.js source code. I was wondering if this might be a useful feature for other Babylon users. For reference, here is a sample implementation in the three.js library that was recently added:

Shear matrix implementation

Before three.js implemented it in their core, I had implemented for one of my own three.js path tracing demos. However, I am not familiar enough with Typescript or the Babylon math library to submit a PR. Since it wouldn’t add many lines of code to the Babylon codebase, I was hoping that this classic transform could be added relatively easily by someone more familiar with the Babylon core.

Thank you for your consideration!
