Natsura 0.6.3.0

Suite of bugfixes and stability improvements

• Removed many classes of bugs including "ghost" cooks triggered by python panels
• Updated rig definition for improved control
• Improvements to Assembly tools and workflow
• surface decoration "min width"
• fuse assembly rigs with simulated skeleton for detailed wind animation
• The biggest workflow change is the rig to assembly workflow. Now it is possible to simulate a set of branches or a tree and then "decompose" it into modules for use in another simulation. This unlocks the procedural power of natsura for creating species at scale.
