Change default RotationAnimation direction.

Shortest as default too often led to unintuitive behavior. For example,
RotationAnimation { from: 0; to: 360 } will not animate at all. Numerical
gives the least surprising results.

     \brief The RotationAnimation element allows you to animate rotations.
 
     RotationAnimation is a specialized PropertyAnimation that gives control

     When used in a transition RotationAnimation will rotate all
     properties named "rotation" or "angle". You can override this by providing
