Export Blender double-sided meshes correctly.

This enables the Blender Mesh Normal panel and exports any double sided
mesh with double sided layers to Plasma. The implication is that the
mesh will be rendered twice in game--the second time with the winding
reversed. Wavesets marked double sided are ignored due to the runtime
generation of layers in game. Trying to make a double sided waveset is
therefore nonsense.
