2021.8.2.936 - Push To Talk, floatQ field initialization, bugfixes

Just a small update, this has mostly additions to educational version of Neos, but there's a few small goodies as well, mostly notably Press To Talk on desktop! It's quite simple now and will have a bunch more added to it, but hopefully it'll help now as well. A bunch of bugfixes as well!

Compatible with previous build.

- Added simple Press To Talk mechanism (based on voting on GH #320)

[h2]Neos Classroom Updates:[/h2] (requested by @Karel | CEO on behalf of Virtual Lab)
- Added button to stop/resume animation in Neos Classroom

-- This gives only given student ability to grab items and displays a text
- Added "Practice" quiz mode, which allows students to practice labeling of the model, immediatelly showing results
- Added ability to select environment

[h2]Tweaks:[/h2]
- All value fields are now initialized to specific datatype defaults
-- This should fix cases of floatQ fields (and some others, like matrices) having degenerate/invalid values (based on report by @Axius and @Shadow Panther [RU/EN, UTC+3] and others, GH #2728)

- Merged Russian locale additions by @Shadow Panther [RU/EN, UTC+3]

[h2]Bugfixes:[/h2]
- Fixed unregistered users not being able to join sessions
- Fixed some cases where the desktop rendering would get corrupted due to invalid quaternions
- "Skip and adjust avatar" button on full body calibrator is now grayed out when not wearing a full body avatar (based on report by @torch89 and @Shadow Panther [RU/EN, UTC+3], GH #2704)
- Changed DateTime string encoding to use culture invariant version that gets parsed to the same version regardless of the culture
-- This might potentially fix non-UTC DateTime cloud variables failing to write on non-US OS locales (reported by @Shadow Panther [RU/EN, UTC+3], GH #2731)
