Summary0006387: Add visual cue for leaning forward
DescriptionCurrently:
* The lightgem decorations provide cue for when player is crouching
* There is no HUD cue for when player is leaning left or right. (It is not required because the entire camera tilts and stays titled until unlean.)
* There is no visual cue for leaning forward [s]or backward[/s]. This may be helpful because (unlike lean left/right) there is no cue from a tilted camera that player is leaning forward [s]or backward[/s].

This is more of an issue when Toggle lean is enabled and player may not realize, or may forget, that they are leaning forward.

Proposed solution:
* (preferred) Make use of the lightgem decorations to make them indicate both crouching and all directions of leaning:
** Slightly bending decoration tips upwards means leaning forward. [s]Slightly bending decoration tips downwards means leaning backward.[/s]
** Flattening decorations to bottom means crouching (i.e. keep current implementation)
** Shortening left wing and elongating right wing of decoration means leaning right. Similar for leaning left. This is actually superfluous, but it will make the decorations behavior consistent.
** Decorations should also be able to indicate any combination of crouching and leaning (e.g. crouching+leaning forward).
* (quickfix) A semi-discrete dot on the lightgem. When the dot is centered, player is not leaning. When the dot is moved up, player is leaning forward, and similar for the other 3 directions.
The quickfix is not as elegant as the preferred solution, because the lightgem's function is to show light on the player, while the decorations' function is to show the player's body position.
