Show feature point detection

Description

We will use the built in ARSCNDebugOptions.ShowFeaturePoints flag in the DebugOptions to show the feature points that are detected in the scene.

How well the feature points are detected depends on the type of surface the camera is looking at and the lighting conditions. Dark, featureless and reflective surfaces are difficult to identify feature points.

ARKit uses feature points to map and remember a scene.
