[Bf-committers] Proposal to rename "Texture Face" shading mode

[Mitchell Stokes]

I like the name "Singletexture". I think the "Texture Face" mode's
name probably comes from the "TexFace" option in the materials panel,
which behaves similar to "Texture Face Materials". So, maybe the name
of the mode is to say, "You'll get materials that always have texture
face enabled?".
