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.

- Number of edge rings along the height of the cylinder.
+ 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.
