    Kyle Morgenstein authored
    # Description
    
    Resolves Issue #1534 by adding non-root body tracking as an option in
    the ViewerCfg. See the issue for justification/discussion. API as
    follows:
    
    - Adds origin_type "asset_body"
    - Adds field "body_name"
    
    When origin_type = "asset_body" and "body_name" matches a body in the
    asset specified in "asset_name", the viewport is configured to track the
    link frame of the body in world coordinates. By using the existing eye
    and lookat fields in ViewerCfg the additional features are enabled:
    
    - Tracking the end effector of an arm during manipulation (see below)
    - Tracking a fixed offset from the end effector of an arm (e.g.
    mimicking the view of a wrist-mounted camera)
    - Tracking a mobile base using the currently-supported workaround for
    lack of wheel physics by defining a virtual arm to mimic the motion of
    the robot
    
    ## Type of change
    
    - New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
    
    ## Training Video from "Isaac-Lift-Cube-Franka-v0" after 1000
    iterations.
    
    Viewer defined as follows:
    
    viewer = ViewerCfg(eye=(0.5, 0.5, 0.0), origin_type="asset_body",
    env_index=0, asset_name="robot", body_name="panda_hand")
    
    No other changes were made from the default environment definition.
