These changes are largely irrelevant to this PR (which is about whiskers), I just ended up doing them over the course of getting used to this codebase.
This also features some minor refactors of how NomadGraphics articulates how we determine the number of sprites to allocate for the Slugcat, plus deferring a mysterious TriangleMesh instantiation into a slightly more friendly Util function.
Some of this stuff isn't placed back in yet, nor updated to have the "nomad_" prefix in the atlas thing, and might be useless, but I did want to at least have a move commit to get some visible history going.
No DressMySlugcat dependency required! Heck yeah! >:)

Summary
This re-implements Nomad's face and ears, and adds some procedural whiskers, which later can be modified to respond to the environment or something.
Coder warnings
This change required creating a new class,
FSpriteNomad, for overriding basic Slugcat sprites with our own ones. I did it that way so that only specifically Nomad slugcats are affected by this mod (so we aren't clobbering the assets of other slugcats). I also had to modify head.txt/face.txt slightly so that their sprites start with the expected "nomad_" prefix; all generic slugcat sprites should follow that naming pattern. head.png was also modified to be white rather than Nomad's colour, to allow for modification of Nomad's colour (for example to convey heat, starvation, etc).This PR also features a bunch of novel documentation, comments, and some minor refactors, which aren't user-facing but should make it a little easier to understand how Nomad's graphics work.
