Pause/stop Babylon rendering when Simulator invisible to save battery #75

Closed germanicianus closed 3 years ago

This is really important for mobile devices like tablets used in schools for education. ~ 40 % of my CPU/iGPU are used when just the block view is visible and I do nothing. When I used gears on my phone, ~ 10 % of my battery were drain in a very short time. gears_cpu_usage_when_sim_invisible

Modified it so that the 3D rendering will only run if the simulator tab is opened, or if the user's program is running.
