GLTFLoader: Alpha mode should default to Blend when material color has transparency
See original GitHub issueDescription of the problem
Some software exports GLTFs without setting alpha mode, even in materials with transparency. Blender correctly renders these materials as transparent, but the GLTFLoader defaults to opaque even when an alpha < 1.0 is specified in the material.
Suggested solution
When alpha < 1.0, if no alphaMode is specified, default to BLEND rather than OPAQUE.

It is not always so clear. Transparency can be set in the alpha channel of the texture. The loader is not expected to discern that.
Yes, good point.
