What are mocking and stubbing techniques for RealityKit in Swift?

Mocking and stubbing are techniques used in testing to simulate the behavior of complex objects. In RealityKit, mocking can help simulate entities and their behaviors without requiring the actual 3D assets or entire scenes. Stubbing can allow the developer to provide specific predefined responses for certain method calls, enabling isolation of tests. Below are examples of both techniques.
