Summary

Automation methods for the position and orientation coordinates of PannerNode and the position, up, and forward vectors of the AudioListener are added. This allows smooth changes in the coordinates via AudioParam methods. This effectively undeprecates the PannerNode and AudioListener. The old methods such as setPosition, setOrientation, etc., are retained, but deprecated because they have obvious equivalents with just setting the individual coordinate values.
