Print to Console like a stream

ChangeLog.md

     * Press dot key in Menu to see hidden files and folders
     * Console is now using std::string instead of char *
     * Added utf8-cpp dependency to allow Console to delete multi-byte chars
+    * Added stream-style printing to Console
 
     [ 20140809 ]
     * Script Unit Test brings it’s own scripts to test

TODO.md

     * Maybe replace loader with [VT](http://icculus.org/vt/), also used by OpenTomb.
 * Don't use C-Style code, try to replace with C++ lib
     * Use std::strings
-    * Rewrite Console and use operator << to write to the console?
 * Mesh has 2 different approaches of storing the same data (eg. mColors and mColorArray), but half of ‘em isn’t implemented. Unify this, probably even combining Mesh and StaticMesh...
 * Don’t use float everywhere just because (eg. float colors)
 * Add verbose command line flag for debug output also in release builds
