orientPlanView

Move the editor camera to a top-down, north-up plan view using the same compass action a user clicks (perspective camera, framing the whole scene), optionally pulled back by `zoomOut`. Returns the resulting camera state (tilt, needle angle, isTopDown, isNorthUp, lat/lon, groundExtent in metres). Use before takeSnapshot when judging alignment or orientation; focusCamera reframes around one entity and is NOT a reliable orientation reference. takeSnapshot type "plan" does this for you.
