Description

Requested in the forum https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!topic/cesium-dev/a8bwwV3BYuE

Currently, when viewer.trackedEntity is set, it zooms directly to the tracked entity. I would be nice to have a duration option for this behavior to enable flyto functionality.
This function needs to respect the entity.viewFrom property.

Research direction

The issue names viewer.trackedEntity and entity.viewFrom as the relevant entry points; start by tracing how setting trackedEntity currently performs its immediate zoom. Done means a duration option enables fly-to behavior while respecting the entity's viewFrom property.
