[Feature Request] add calibration mirror or something similar.

it would be so nice to have a option to spawn a mirror or some camera system to assist in calibration instead of having to run around till you find a mirror to calibrate properly. you could even go further and add calibration tips and stuff to make it easier. or could do it with cameras and show front and side view as well.

An alternative option here would be allowing people to hold one trigger to freeze avatar in place (stop head-follow that it does by default).
This would allow for the following calibration procedure that combines best part of new and legacy calibration:
- Start calibration
- Stand reasonably straight (avatar is aligned with the head)
- Start holding one trigger (avatar gets frozen)
- Just bend over, look at your feet, and align foot/knee trackers
- Return to standing straight (your head is still more-or-less aligned)
- T-pose arms optionally to align elbow trackers - you can rotate head to the side to look at arms (trigger is still held, avatar is still frozen!)
- Click the second trigger to finish calibration
This method solves the legacy calibration issue of avatar head not being aligned to the headset (and so all other trackers being misaligned), while also letting people calibrate without a mirror and place trackers where they think they should be. Additionally, it allows a bit of extra spine flex calibration hacks to let people use different spine straightness (while having hip/leg trackers where they belong) to account for their preferred non-standing poses, potentially improving results in "lock both" mode.
If one-handed calibration accessibility feature (https://vrchat.canny.io/vrchat-ik-20/p/featureaccessibility-add-support-for-one-handed-calibration) is also implemented and enabled, then any amount of trigger pull would freeze the avatar, and the full click/bottom-out would calibrate.
And no, "just add a camera pointing at your feet to your avatar" is not the answer here regardless of how calibration is improved (a built-in calibration mirror is also fine) - it's asking users to solve client deficiencies via terrible hacks.
