Changes for modders

• support for custom launchpad smoke emitters (either Unity ParticleSystem or KSPParticleEmitter)

• GrasColor: Normal Maps are precalculated and cached unter PluginData

  This is like a light version of substance painter.

• The GrassColor2 editor supports these changes

• GrassColor2 : Normal Maps for each Texture are precalculated and cached unter PluginData. Only NearGrass receives those from the FarGrass (which looks better that way)
