Added workshop support to the editor and game.
When you upload a package for the first the it will be marked as private in the workshop, you can mark it as public through the steam workshop page. Subscribed items will show up in the model package selection box.

This patch adds some more features to the in-game editor
Changes
Added undo/redo functionality (ctrl-z/ctrl-y)
Added automatic resizing of model parts
Added old models to editor (not loaded in game yet)
Added Slice tool, press 's' while editing to switch to it.
Made save games backwards compatible
Fixed color-picker when hitting 'c' again it now exits the picker
Undo/Redo buffer is kept per model while the editor is open, so if you switch to another model and back you can still undo/redo.
Older models aren't added to existing model packs yet, should be fixed in next update.
Slice tool usage:
Ctrl + Mouse wheel changes the position of the plane
Left click to add/paint voxel, right click to remove voxel
1,2 and 3 switch between x/y/z planes
I'll be adding a toolbar and some widgets for this in a later update.
