Clearify num_face and num_face_num_verts variable

[syoyo]

We need to choose more better name for these variables.

Currently,

num_face = the number of f lines
num_face_num_verts = length of face_num_verts.

Each face_num_verts contains the number of vertices of a primitive(face). (e.g. 3(triangle), 4(quads))

If we dont triangulate face(primitive), num_face == num_face_num_verts.

Maybe num_face_verts or num_verts_per_face. I agree as it is now it is confusing.

Currently,

num_face = the number of f lines
num_face_num_verts = length of face_num_verts.

Are you sure about this?

For example, a cube regularly will have num_faces=24, <6 faces>*<1 square per face>*<4 vertexes per square>*

And the same cube will triangulation will have num_faces=36, <6 faces>*<2 triangles per face>*<3 vertexes per triangle>

In this example I have 6 "f lines" but my num_faces comes out to 24 and 36 respectively:

Oh, yes, triangulation will change the situation.
I have to modify a comment.

Also, as you know, for a triangulated mesh all faces have 3 vertices(triangles), so num_face_num_verts * 3 matches with num_faces
