Cylinder divisions and PerspectiveCamera fixedEyePosition should be mutable

[Chien Yang]

We did discuss making divisions in the predefined 3D shapes mutable in 
earlier meeting. However we decided against it since it is a heavy 
weight operation as the supporting mesh will has to be regenerated. I 
believe the constructor with the divisions argument will not have much 
use in the future when we move away from mesh implementation of our 
predefined 3D shapes.

The fixedEyeAtCameraZero flag in PerspectiveCamera is a setup flag to 
the camera and once set it shouldn't be changed. The perspective 
projection matrix is constructed differently depending on the flag. In 
the default mode, JavaFX controls the eye to achieve a projection plane 
at Z=0 so that simple adding of 3D shapes into a 2D scene looks 
intuitive. The other mode, where eye is fixed a camera zero, is well 
suitable for movable camera in the 3d space.
