Cycles / Sky Texture:

* Added a new sky model by Hosek and Wilkie: "An Analytic Model for Full Spectral Sky-Dome Radiance" http://cgg.mff.cuni.cz/projects/SkylightModelling/ 

Example render:

Documentation:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.6/Manual/Render/Cycles/Nodes/Textures#Sky_Texture

Details:
* User can choose between the older Preetham and the new Hosek / Wilkie model via a dropdown. For older files, backwards compatibility is preserved. When we add a new Sky texture, it defaults to the new model though. 
* For the new model, you can specify the ground albedo (see documentation for details). 
* Turbidity now has a UI soft range between 1 and 10, higher values (up to 30) are still possible, but can result in weird colors or black. 
* Removed the limitation of 1 sky texture per SVM stack. (Patch by Lukas Tönne, thanks!)

Thanks to Brecht for code review and some help!
