Non-physics ray vs mesh intersection function

[nenad-jalsovec]

When building procedural meshes it's often needed to do ray vs. mesh intersections. Afaik the engine doesn't have a straightforward way to do this other than physics based raycasts. This complicates matters a lot since mesh building is typically done in worker threads and then such threads need to be synchronized with physics frames. A two completely unrelated things.

There's Geometry3D::ray_intersects_triangle() but using this requires iterating through vertex data in script code which is not very efficient.

Would it make sense to add a ray vs mesh intersection method into either Geometry3D or one of mesh manipulation classes e.g. SurfaceTool?
