Small update to the quick effects operators:

* "Make fur" now creates a basic fur material for each object (smaller strand tip width and a little bit of surface diffuse)
* If fluid/smoke emitters aren't rendered the objects are also set to draw only in wire mode so that the fluid/smoke can be clearly seen.
