flexible sculpties

Cool SL Viewer v1.19.0.5 release 50 (stable, legacy renderer)
Cool SL Viewer v1.21.6.0 release 17 ((stable, Windlight renderer)
Cool SL Viewer v1.22.10.0 release 2 (experimental)

Too tired to write much, just copy-paste from Henri
They allow to build flexible sculpties. BEWARE: flexible sculpties introduce a *lot* of lag on the viewer side: use sparsely !
Such prims can be seen in other viewers as well, but they introduce even more lag in them since they don't have the optimized code provided by the patch.
Note: this feature may not be keeped in future releases, depending on its impact on lag, and especially if a more elegant solution is not found (for now the viewer is transferring the sculpty texture data between the GPU and the CPU for every frame of animation).
