[FeatReq] external model textures

[lavenderdotpet]

QSS, QSS-M, FTEQW and MarkV all support loading external model textures would be useful if ironwail also supported such a feature and by implementing such a feature would make it more of a standard between quake engines

the code for the feature can be found here

QSS gl_draw.c

QSS menu.c

visual example left embedded mdl texture | right external texture

• vkquake issue for this feature

• quakespasm issue for this feature

Be sure to check the naming convention here. ID1 has both s_light.mdl and s_light.spr, so just using the model name on it's own as a base won't be good enough.
