How can I temporarily deactivate (and later reactivate) the rotation interaction (`:dragrotate`) for an `LScene`? The `deactivate_interaction!` and `activate_interaction!` methods seem only to be defined on `Axis` and `Axis3`.
Somehow `:dragrotate` is being registered in the first place (I guess it must be in `initialize_block!(ax::Axis3)` since that’s the only place it’s called with `:dragrotate`), but I can’t see how to access the `Axis3` that underlies the `LScene` in order to call `deactivate_interaction!(::Axis3, ::Symbol)`.

This should work with the default camera
```julia
cc = cameracontrols(lscene.scene)
cc.attributes[:rotation_button][] = false
```

Thanks - yeah I subsequently figured out that the interactions for `LScene` don’t seem to use the registration API that is used elsewhere. It’s not clear to me why that is but I think I can move forward for now.
Also after some more digging I see that the existing interaction that’s set up in `add_rotation!` is using the `Observables.on(f, camera::Camera, observables::AbstractObservable...)` method that I wasn’t aware of before. So it looks like `disconnect!(c::Camera)` can be used to remove all the camera callbacks - though I’m not sure how one would selectively remove just the relevant ones, and it looks like there are some callbacks in the `steering_nodes` that definitely shouldn’t be removed. For example, one of them seems to fire when the window size is changed and without it the rendered scene ends up getting squished with a resize.
