Add a trait for commands that run for a given Entity (#7015)
# Objective
Resolve#6156.
The most common type of command is one that runs for a single entity. Built-in commands like this can be ergonomically added to the command queue using the `EntityCommands` struct. However, adding custom entity commands to the queue is quite cumbersome. You must first spawn an entity, store its ID in a local, then construct a command using that ID and add it to the queue. This prevents method chaining, which is the main benefit of using `EntityCommands`.
### Example (before)
```rust
struct MyCustomCommand(Entity);
impl Command for MyCustomCommand { ... }
let id = commands.spawn((...)).id();
commmands.add(MyCustomCommand(id));
```
## Solution
Add the `EntityCommand` trait, which allows directly adding per-entity commands to the `EntityCommands` struct.
### Example (after)
```rust
struct MyCustomCommand;
impl EntityCommand for MyCustomCommand { ... }
commands.spawn((...)).add(MyCustomCommand);
```

## Changelog
- Added the trait `EntityCommand`. This is a counterpart of `Command` for types that execute code for a single entity.
## Future Work
If we feel its necessary, we can simplify built-in commands (such as `Despawn`) to use this trait.
