Add a vertical property to GradientTexture1D

[FireCatMagic]

Describe the project you are working on

GradientTexture1D has a 1 pixel gradient along the X axis, this bool would make it along the Y axis.

Describe the problem or limitation you are having in your project

Some UV configurations that use gradients have their UVs on the y axis, this makes it easier to use the texture directly without modifications

Describe the feature / enhancement and how it helps to overcome the problem or limitation

It allows a vertical 1D gradient using the 1D gradient texture resource without having to use something more general purpose like a 2D gradient texture 1 pixel wide

Describe how your proposal will work, with code, pseudo-code, mock-ups, and/or diagrams

New property, vertical or use_y, something along those lines, than changes the texture to be on the y axis

If this enhancement will not be used often, can it be worked around with a few lines of script?

Yes, a GradientTexture2D can be used and set to be 1 pixel wide

Is there a reason why this should be core and not an add-on in the asset library?

GradientTexture1D class is core

Could you please provide example? Feels like it is possible just swap x/y usage inside shader.
