For Ocean modifier Viewport and Render resolution

Atm, we have only one resolution setting on ocean modifier which we need to change if we wanna have better resolution for the final render.

But that does not work for viewport, because typically the final version of the ocean is too detailed and can make the viewport laggy.

So that's why I ask if there would be added separated resolution settings for viewport and render in a similar way as we have for example on Multires modifier.

Until recently, the resolution control on the ocean modifier would radically change the look. With 2.83 and later, this is resolved so that this request makes more sense now. I'll see what might be doable.

As a walkaround, copy the modifier and set the first visible for camera, and the second for viewport only, reducing the resolution
