DarkRadiant 3.1.0 pre-release test

[greebo]

Here's the pre-release build 3.1.0pre2

After this pre-release phase I'm going to consider doing this differently, like pushing out the releases more regularly, skipping the "beta" phase. It's a lot of work putting the pre-releases together, and I'm somewhat tired of it.

What's new:

• The Texture Tool got its Free Scale operator now, allowing you to fit the texture with the mouse instead of having to type in the percentages.
• A lot of work went into the Declaration handling (EntityDef, Skins, Materials, Particles, etc.), which is now much more robust and more conformant to how the game is doing things (at least until TDM 2.10).
• The Material Editor got a plethora of issues resolved
• Improved the Model Export dialog and options

For more things that have changed or fixed, see the list below.
