Ton Roosendaal aa939b8599 Orange branch feature; Material Layering
(WIP, don't bugs for this in tracker yet please!)

- New Panel "Layers" in Material buttons, allows to add unlimited amount
  of materials on top of each other.
- Every Layer is actually just another Material, which gets rendered/shaded
  (including texture), and then added on top of previous layer with an
  operation like Mix, Add, Mult, etc.
- Layers render fully independent, so bumpmaps are not passed on to next
  layers.
- Per Layer you can set if it influences Diffuse, Specular or Alpha
- If a Material returns alpha (like from texture), the alpha value is
  used for adding the layers too.
- New texture "Map To" channel allows to have a texture work on a Layer
- Each layer, including basis Material, can be turned on/off individually

Notes:

- at this moment, the full shading pass happens for each layer, including
  shadow, AO and raytraced mirror or transparency...
- I had to remove old hacks from preview render, which corrected reflected
  normals for preview texturing.
- still needs loadsa testing!
