JFonS f12a1b8863 Add SimplexNoise and NoiseTexture as new resources
SimplexNoise can be used to generate parameterized fractal noise based on Open Simplex.

NoiseTexture uses SimplexNoise to generate noise textures for using in
shaders/visual effects.

Noise generator based on Open Simplex.
</brief_description>
<description>
This resource allows you to configure and sample a fractal noise space.
Here is a brief usage example that configures a SimplexNoise and gets samples at various positions and dimensions:
[codeblock]
var noise = SimplexNoise.new()
# Configure
noise.seed = randi()
noise.octaves = 4
noise.period = 20.0
noise.persistance = 0.8
#Sample
print("Values:")
print(noise.get_noise_2d(1.0,1.0))
print(noise.get_noise_3d(0.5,3.0,15.0))
print(noise.get_noise_3d(0.5,1.9,4.7,0.0))

<members>
<member name="lacunarity" type="float" setter="set_lacunarity" getter="get_lacunarity">
Difference in period between [member octaves].
</member>
<member name="octaves" type="int" setter="set_octaves" getter="get_octaves">
Number of Simplex Noise layers that are sampled to get the fractal noise.
</member>
<member name="period" type="float" setter="set_period" getter="get_period">
Period of the base octave.
A lower period results in a higher frequancy noise (more value changes across the same distance).
</member>
<member name="persistance" type="float" setter="set_persistance" getter="get_persistance">
Contribuiton factor of the different octaves.
A [code]persistance[/code] value of 1 means all the octaves have the same contribution, a value of 0.5 means each octave contributes half as much as the previous one.
</member>
<member name="seed" type="int" setter="set_seed" getter="get_seed">
Seed used to generate random values, different seeds will generate different noise maps.
