Blender Internal: Add "Lamp Data" shader node that allows shaders to acquire information such as light vector from specified Lamp.

For now this provides the following outputs:

- Color
- Light Vector
- Distance
- Shadow
- Visibility Factor

Note: Color output is multiplied by the lamp energy.  Multiplication of
color*max(dot(light_vector,normal_vector),0)*shadow*visibility_factor
produces the exact same result as the Lambert shader.

Many thanks to Brecht for code review and discussion!
