Various Fixes - Mostly Cycles Converter

Add missing descriptions for props
Some additional notes in the converters User Guides
Added a workaround for custom screen layouts
The old code accessed the UV editing screen  without checking it's
existence in screen layouts
The workaround temporarly sets the context  to IMAGE EDITOR

Added a texture paint sculpt mode
Adding a blank image for texture paint slot
( still needs proper naming for multiple materials )

Fixed the texture node frame logic
Fixed the loading of texture nodes from images that are not baked

Fix the texture coordinates location
Add frame for them
Add exceptions for creation of links

Added an another prop setting for using uv unwrap
Fixed an issue with possible crash during unwrapping
