[patch] Support rotating a scene node around arbitrary point

Irrlicht matrix4 already supports this, so expose it for scene nodes too. Very useful if some model is not modelled at origin.

Not sure if this API bloat would really be that useful. Either a mesh manipulator call or a dummy node would do the same, and usually work as good.

Dummy node = overhead of one node
Mesh manipulator = overhead when loading mesh, possibly not working if mesh is animated/uses 32bit indices
