createPerpendicularVectorFavorXYPlane MethodStatic

return a vector that is perpendicular to the input direction.

• Among the infinite number of perpendiculars possible, this method favors having one in the xy plane.
• Hence, when vectorA is NOT close to the Z axis, the returned vector is Z cross vectorA.
• But vectorA is close to the Z axis, the returned vector is unitY cross vectorA.
