Wonderland Engine 1.5.1

This release adds a new XR interaction project template to make it easy to start new projects with our new Wonderland Interaction library.

We also fixed a few issues that slipped through in our last 1.5.0 release, and added some improvements to Wonderland Editor’s local web server.
