[Bf-python] Texture API- first "sketch"

[alex mole]

OK, so Texture.flags and Texture.imageFlags will return the bitfields 
directly, and there will be constant dicts called Texture.Flags and 
Texture.ImageFlags for getting information out of these. There will also 
be functions setFlags() and setImageFlags() which work on strings.


What about the stype member though? This stores a number that means 
different things depending on what type of texture it is [if it is an 
envmap texture, stype=0 means something totally different than if it's a 
cloud texture]. Should there just be a constant dict which contains all 
the possible values, with names like 'ENV_ANIM' or 'CLD_COLOR', and 
leave figuring out the proper ones to use to the scripter? This seems 
like the most reasonable option....
