Did some tests and the overhead speed cost on loading and rendering where both not really measurable even in a pretty huge scene.
While some Irrlicht parts might still have a problem with 32-bit meshes (octree for example, also some meshmanipulator functions), it's probably still less of a problem than having broken meshes and just a nicer default. Also the troubling parts in Irrlicht can be improved over time.

Giving the loader it's own enum allowed me to add more options.
EITH_OPTIMAL which reduces buffers back to 16-bit if they don't need 32-bit.
Using that in obj loader.
Also 32-bit meshes with EMT_PARALLAX_MAP_SOLID material should now work in obj loader (untested as I got no test-case)

- IMeshLoader::setPreferredIndexType and getPreferredIndexType allow setting hints for the loaders if users prefer 16 or 32 bit meshbuffers. Loaders are free to ignore those hints (all but .obj will do that for now).
- obj meshloader loads now 32-bit buffers when setPreferredIndexType is set to EIT_32BIT.
NOTE: It's 16 bit meshes use now also an IDynamicMeshbuffer instead of an SMeshBuffer.
That will break the code of people who accessed meshbuffer before by casting to SMeshBuffer*
And might even be somewhat slower (lot's of virtual functions...), but shouldn't really matter and can maybe be a bit improved.
Sorry about that, I considered keeping SMeshBuffer for 16-bit (still considering it), but it would add some overhead in code and I don't think it's worth that. If there are any complains I'll maybe consider it again.

Usually something like __IRR_SOME_GUARD_INCLUDED__ replaced by IRR_SOME_GUARD_INCLUDED.
Removing underscores at the end wasn't necessary, but more symmetric (probably the reason they got added there as well).
While this touches every header it shouldn't affect users (I hope).
Also a few whitespace changes to unify whitespace usage a bit.
And a bunch of spelling fixes in comments.
