Sculpt: Cloth Brush simulation area property

This makes possible to choose between a local and a global simulation
when the cloth brush is used. Local simulation is the current default.
When global simulation is enabled, the cloth brush simulates the entire
mesh without taking any simulation limits into account.

This was possible before by setting the simulation limits to 10 (the
current maximum value allowed) so the entire mesh was inside the limits,
but this was a hack as the limits scale with the radius and there should
not be any limitation on how big the simulated area can be to be able to
simulate an entire object. This also allows to make a more clear
distinction between cloth brush presets that are intended to be used in
local areas to add details or globally to generate the base shape of the
mesh.
