Generalize the lightmap modifier

The lightmap modifier is now a more general "Bake Lighting" modifier
that can control how vertex colors are baked as well. The default vertex
color baking behavior is unaffected. It is now identical to adding a
Bake Lighting modifier, changing it to bake vertex colors without
specifying a pass.
