WEDB improvments

WEDB has got two tools for slicing and cutting blocks. "Slice (line)" cuts the selected block or group, while "Slice (plane)" cuts the whole group along a plane.

ent_status(entity, mode)

Returns lots of information about the entity.

New WED menus

Wed's "Preferences" are structured in a more logical way now.
