GeometryUVPreviewPlugin is a useful development and debugging plugin
that adds a panel to the viewer to show the UVs of a geometry.

```typescript
import {ThreeViewer, GeometryUVPreviewPlugin, SphereGeometry} from 'threepipe'

const viewer = new ThreeViewer({...})

const previewPlugin = viewer.addPluginSync(new GeometryUVPreviewPlugin())

const geometry = new SphereGeometry(1, 32, 32)
// Show the normal buffer in a panel
previewPlugin.addGeometry(geometry, 'sphere')
```
