Description
> Definitely unfortunate that the `EnvironmentMapLight` component is also used on camera entities. Looking at the examples it feels like that should be merged into the `Skybox` component. We could then require `LightProbe` for `EnvironmentMapLight`, but alas.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reading the EnvironmentMapLight component and the examples discussed in the issue, then compare its use on camera entities with Skybox and LightProbe. Done means the component's meaning and intended usage are unambiguous, including whether the proposed relationship with Skybox or LightProbe should change.
