Enable globe lighting for 3D Tilesets #11302

The Globe.enableLighting flag does not affect the lighting of 3D Tilesets.

The default Globe with viewer.scene.globe.enableLighting = true shows one side of the Earth dark, as expected:

The same view using Google's Photorealistic 3D Tiles appears uniformly lighted, except that the SkyAtmosphere is dark on one side:

Users should be able to apply global lighting to 3D Tilesets. This has already been requested on the forum.

Just a note here that Google's tiles use the glTF unlit extension because there is already lighting "baked in". That extension which would need to be ignored in order to implement this.
