Simple hair children: Make twist affected by vertex group

The idea is to give a control over direction of twist, and maybe amount of
twist as well. More concrete example: make braids on left and right side of
character head to be twisting opposite directions.

Now, tricky part: we need some negative values to flip direction, but weights
can not be negative. So we use same trick as displacement map and tangent normal
maps, where 0.5 is neutral, values below 0.5 are considered negative and values
above 0.5 are considered positive.
