Requested by several users. Allow exporting of only selected items even if other items are linked

Migration from sf.net

Quick reminder for myself to implement this for the new 2.5x scripts. Reference to original niftools thread: http://niftools.sourceforge.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=2890 Quoting Ghostwalker71: "It would be most useful when modifying bodies allowing me to link several bodies to a single skeleton and only export one model at a time rather than all of them." The scripts should cover this use case.

Todo: Grow selection so that all parents of all selected objects are included.

@HENDRIX-ZT2 This option was meant to only export those items that are specifically selected for export, it's a bit more of an advanced option. Meant for scenarios where a mesh is parented to multiple armatures with different attributes, as well as a having multiple meshes with a single armature parent. You should be able to select specific mesh items and/or armatures and export them without any of the linked items being automatically exported with what was selected.

You can't have meshes that are child of several armatures. Also, you need the armature to make sure that the mesh you've selected is exported with bones.
