[BUG-41439] Please add the ability to animate the texture of a projected light

[sl-service-account]

How would you like the feature to work?

Much like a texture on a prim face can be set to a single or looped framed animation, or smooth animation and/or scale or rotation animation, a projected light could be made to change according to the same type of animation choices via scripted functions.

Why is this feature important to you? How would it benefit the community?

While it is already possible to add a dynamically changing element to a projected light through the use of an adjunct prim and texture, much like a theatrical stage lighting cookaloris or gobo, having the ability to animate the source projector light texture would facilitate this using only the projector prim itself. Additionally using an adjunct cookaloris type system would allow for much more robust, dynamic, and seemingly random changes for lighting in such places as clubs, theaters, role play venues, personal residences and art installations.
