New: VDM Brush Baker

A new add-on to easily create VDM brushes has been added. Previously available as part of a demo file.

New: 3DS I/O

Support for importing and exporting the legacy 3ds format is back since it is still used by many applications and was missed by many Blender users. (PR#104493)

Animations and almost all 3ds definitions can be imported and exported. (2dc2c1c3e4, 6525a57a32, febc4b4433, 859a2c1b9a)
