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

That's a good way, since script writers can then consult the docs to see
what each thing means.  For the set???() method for this, maybe you could
standardize a little and accept the string "Default" for stype==0, where
then default would mean something different for each tex type.  Then in the
switch/case statements or if/if else, depending on your preferences:

[pseudo code with bogus examples]

switch (textype) {
  case EXPP_TEX_TYPE_CLOUD:
     if (!strcmp(arg, "Default") || !strcmp(arg, "Color") { ... }
     else if (!strcmp ...
     ...
     break;
  case EXPP_TEX_TYPE_ENVMAP:
     if (!strcmp(arg, "Default") || !strcmp(arg, ...

you got the picture.
