:pr:2404: Add :class:.SpiralIn Animation

:pr:2534: Implement :class:~.OpenGLImageMobject
:pr:2684: Created a more accessible way to create Angles with line.py angle function - :meth:.Angle.from_three_points

:pr:2062: Reuse shader wrappers and shader data
:pr:2642: Migrated file_ops.py and scene_file_writer.py from os.path to Pathlib In file_ops.py and scene_file_writer.py: Uses of str type file names have been mostly (see further information) converted to pathlib's Path objects. Uses of os.path methods have been converted to equivalent pathlib methods.

:pr:2546: Fixed a file logging bug and some maintenance
:pr:2597: Fix Bug in :class:.Uncreate with rate_func via introducing new parameter reversed to :class:.Animation
- Refractor the :class:.Uncreate. The new implementation uses a flag member reversed. Set it to True and its superclass handles the reverse.
- Introduce a bool parameter reversed to :class:.Animation. It decides whether the animation needs to be played backwards. Default to be False.
- Add conditional branches in :meth:.Animation.get_sub_alpha. If the parameter reversed is True, it would set rate_func(t) to rate_func(1 - t).
