How to fix objects and transforms in a manim 3D scene

fixed_fixing.py

# Context:
#
# Although ThreeDScene has the method `self.add_fixed_in_frame_mobjects()`
# it doesnt work as expected if you want to have transforms that happen
# in the frame coordinates, instead of in 3D coordinates

# This fix fixes the fixed objects in a different way that works under transforms

# The trick is to add a `.fixed` attribute to all mobjects that should not be
# projected by the camera
