adding billboard function to Al_Quat and omni text rendering example #53

A solution to rendering text in omni. I found a function that's used in Unity to maintain an up vector while rotating to a destination vector which makes for intuitive billboarding in the app. The example labels each vertex of a sphere in omni.
