Update and complete the Sprite3D and SpriteBase3D class documentations
This removes an outdated notice about Sprite3D performance issues which will most likely be fixed in the new implementation.

2D sprite node in a 3D world.
</brief_description>
<description>
- A node that displays a 2D texture in a 3D environment. The texture displayed can be a region from a larger atlas texture, or a frame from a sprite sheet animation.
- [b]Note:[/b] There are [url=https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/20855]known performance issues[/url] when using [Sprite3D]. Consider using a [MeshInstance3D] with a [QuadMesh] as the mesh instead. You can still have billboarding by enabling billboard properties in the QuadMesh's [StandardMaterial3D].
+ A node that displays a 2D texture in a 3D environment. The texture displayed can be a region from a larger atlas texture, or a frame from a sprite sheet animation. See also [SpriteBase3D] where properties such as the billboard mode are defined.
