Setting Panel Added, Debuging Added.

Added the Armature Validation modes now, we have Stritct, Basic and None, it will give a warning to the user in the panel if there have it set to basic or none.
Settings panel added, langauge change has been added back. Did some work on it to slightl improve the system.
Added dubug area, basically everything but autoload will use logging now, you be able to turn it on/off in debug settings.
Did other bits and bobs.
