model (/item) nodes should be drawn in a pos & size defined box (and origin property removed) and the model should be scaled down if doesn't fit.

We can test an "autoscale" property (boolean) to override to current scale (and origin). An autoscale to the default behaviour of model can create problems (aircraft equip or hire menu should have a fixed ratio (a little aircraft should be smaller than a big aircraft...)). If it need we also can create an "autoorigine/autoalign". At worst we can add it every where and finally remove the property if everything is ok.

We can have problem if we rotate the model (must we cut model out of node, or update scale/origine) We can test that, and also add a property to allow/or not the user to rotate the model with mouse. Currently i dont know how we request that (ufopedia allow it).

The old code already allow to autoscale. I juste cleanup default scale value to 1, add an autoscale property, and fix some lacks.

I use it in some GUI. I look to work well. I dont check item node.
