Subject: [PATCH 25/70] Also add map_Kd to the OBJ/MTL material kwargs

While all the other key/values for the MTL material are provided directly on top of Trimesh's interpretation for SimpleMaterial, then accessible through material.kwargs which is useful for custom handling of the materials, map_Kd isn't.
I've had a need for getting the map_Kd file path directly instead of the already loaded PIL.Image.
