Use YXZ convention for Euler angles.
As discussed in issues #1479 and #9782, choosing the up axis (which is Y in Godot) as the axis of the last (or first) rotation is helpful in practical use cases.
This also aligns Godot's convention with Unity, helping with a smoother transition for people who are used to working with Unity (issue #9905).
Internally, both XYZ and YXZ functions are kept, for potential future applications.
