Add ReplaceChildren and ClearChildren EntityCommands (#6035)

# Objective

Fixes #5859 

## Solution

- Add `ClearChildren` and `ReplaceChildren` commands in the `crates/bevy_hierarchy/src/child_builder.rs`

---

## Changelog

  - Added `ClearChildren` and `ReplaceChildren` struct
  - Added `clear_children(&mut self) -> &mut Self` and `replace_children(&mut self, children: &[Entity]) -> &mut Self` function in `BuildChildren` trait
  - Changed `PushChildren` `write` function body to a `push_children ` function to reused in `ReplaceChildren`
  - Added `clear_children` function
  - Added `push_and_replace_children_commands` and `push_and_clear_children_commands` test
