Body2Lua

Adds console/api commands to convert creature bodies to lua tables and back.
Intended for making modding body-plan changing creatures easy.
Probably doesn't work well with combos, I'll fix that eventually.
Not to be confused with bod2lua by Gunno, which converts .bod files to lines of lua code
