[crossfire] Face "overlays"

I see animations and overlays working like that:
- player has a standard animation, "fenx_player"
- each action (using skill or item) can have a temporary animation, like it is 
currently ; thus "fenx_player_sword" or "fenx_player_spellcasting"
- each equippable item defines an overlay ; so "armour" would give the 
"overlay_armour" face on top of the player's face

Of course, items can be specialized for player ; so "overlay_armour" could be 
"overlay_armour_fenx_player_spellcasting" for a specific spellcasting 
animation, or "overlay_armour_fenx_player" for the general armour.


With fallback so not have to explicitely define everything.

I see it merely as adding new pictures on top of the player's "main" face.
