A Catmull-Rom spline is a cubic spline where the tangent at control points,
except the first and last, are computed using the previous and next control points.
Catmull-Rom splines are in the class C1.

{Object} options Object with the following properties:
{Number[]} options.times An array of strictly increasing, unit-less, floating-point times at each point.
The values are in no way connected to the clock time. They are the parameterization for the curve.
{Cartesian3[]} options.points The array of Cartesian3 control points.
{Cartesian3} [options.firstTangent] The tangent of the curve at the first control point.
If the tangent is not given, it will be estimated.
{Cartesian3} [options.lastTangent] The tangent of the curve at the last control point.
If the tangent is not given, it will be estimated.
exception {DeveloperError} points.length must be greater than or equal to 2.
exception {DeveloperError} times.length must be equal to points.length.
