Description

Currently, you can use the following to invert the scroll direction of a camera on desktop:
<a-entity camera look-controls="reverseMouseDrag: true"></a-entity>

This, however, does not work on mobile; it would be useful to have a reverseTouchDrag option for mobile.

Research direction

Start at the look-controls implementation and trace how reverseMouseDrag is applied to touch input. Identify the mobile touch-drag path and determine where a reverseTouchDrag option would fit. Done means mobile users can invert touch-drag direction through the requested option without changing desktop behavior.
