Allow a top and bottom radius equal to 0 in CylinderMesh
The CylinderMesh generation code handles this special case and
avoids generating the top and bottom faces if their radius is equal
to 0. This improves performance by reducing the number of vertices
to draw.

If both values are set to 0, nothing will be visible but the mesh
generation will still succeed.

This also improves the CylinderMesh class documentation.

<members>
<member name="bottom_radius" type="float" setter="set_bottom_radius" getter="get_bottom_radius" default="1.0">
Bottom radius of the cylinder. If set to [code]0.0[/code], the bottom faces will not be generated, resulting in a conic shape.
</member>
<member name="height" type="float" setter="set_height" getter="get_height" default="2.0">
Full height of the cylinder.
</member>
<member name="radial_segments" type="int" setter="set_radial_segments" getter="get_radial_segments" default="64">
Number of radial segments on the cylinder. Higher values result in a more detailed cylinder/cone at the cost of performance.
</member>
<member name="rings" type="int" setter="set_rings" getter="get_rings" default="4">
Number of edge rings along the height of the cylinder. Changing [member rings] does not have any visual impact unless a shader or procedural mesh tool is used to alter the vertex data. Higher values result in more subdivisions, which can be used to create smoother-looking effects with shaders or procedural mesh tools (at the cost of performance). When not altering the vertex data using a shader or procedural mesh tool, [member rings] should be kept to its default value.
</member>
<member name="top_radius" type="float" setter="set_top_radius" getter="get_top_radius" default="1.0">
Top radius of the cylinder. If set to [code]0.0[/code], the top faces will not be generated, resulting in a conic shape.
