1572,[PATCH] Water effects enhancements.,wraitii,wraitii,"(creating a ticket since it seems more convenient and Kieran recommended it on another matter).

So I've been working on updating the water shader effects. This features:
-A new setting: ""superfancy"", in-game ""advanced effects"" I believe, which activates : coastal foam, waves, more realistic water depth and thus water rendering.
-For fancy and superfancy water, a nicer and more customizable system for choosing the color of the water, based on both the tint and the color of the water.
-The normal map that simulates waves has been enhanced: it's smoother on superfancy as it interpolates more between each frame(thanks to myconid), its effect scales with the waviness (which thus becomes much more visible a factor).

It's already pretty much up-and-running, and should be reasonably fast. The basic mode has practically not been modified, the ""fancy"" has been slightly but should be about as fast, while the ""superfancy"" is a bit slower, but not by too much on my computer.

Waves are still sort of a WIP at the moment.

This patch would fix [http://trac.wildfiregames.com/ticket/932/#932], myconid added shadows on water.
This patch sort of references [http://trac.wildfiregames.com/ticket/1501/ #1501] (ship sinking effects could fairly easily be added, I believe). 
This patch may reference [http://trac.wildfiregames.com/ticket/1380 /#1380]. I don't believe it fixes it but it may change a few things (haven't checked myself).
