Feature: Add texture to vertex colors #24

Since there is no native baking to vertex colors in Blender 2.80, it might be nice to merge parts of this addon: https://blenderartists.org/t/2-8-bake-to-vertex-colors/1144425/11

The workflow could allow simply copying from a texture using a uv map, or first baking something (e.g. AO) to the texture and then copying to vertex colors.

For the record, it just got added to 2.92, so we can now bake to vcols (in cycles). Then I needed VCM to transfer that to a weight map. Feel free to streamline that workflow :) My use case was using some shader-derived value to control particle densities.
