BPython:

- NMesh: made nmesh.update accept an optional 'vertex_shade' param to init vcols with shading info, like when you enter vpaint mode or press the relevant "make" button for a mesh without vcols.  This is still a test, the functionality was requested by Manuel Bastioni for the SSS script they are working on:
http://www.dedalo-3d.com/index.php?filename=SXCOL/makehuman/articles/subsurface_scattering_in_python.html
- sys: made makename() accept files with max FILE_MAXDIR+FILE_MAXFILE name length, should fix #2192.  Was only FILE_MAXFILE, a mistake;
- Image: added .setFilename(), contributed by Campbell Barton;
- Camera: added camera.get/setScale for the new param added by Ton for ortho cameras.  Requested by Jean-Michel Soler for the Texture Baker script;
- related doc updates.
