Saving selection #109

@989onan

Description

@989onan

I hate having selections I made just to have to manually assign them into vertex groups or face groups to keep for later. which also don't work with edges.

So I did a bit of digging into a python structure called BMesh and found that BMesh can save any part of a geometry (at least for edge, face, and vertex) into a layer. What these do is that they can save data for a particular vertex or edge into a custom data layer. Apparently these can be saved, loaded into blender mesh data, and received again.
See: https://docs.blender.org/api/current/bmesh.html#customdata-access

Using this layer system, make a section for saving and loading layer data for edges, vertex, and faces where users can select and deselect saved selection groups for a mesh.
