Texture Properties Menu improvement

Not sure if this is planned to be improved but I will drop a picture of what I think should look much more clear to me. I think the textures panel should also be available in the painting & sculpting T panel but again not sure if it's already planned to be added.

As no one has commented yet. I love this. Maybe the sub-icons aren't needed with a header icon? Or they should be differentiated in some way (non-colour)?

@Cyanbcbc-work: Thanks for commenting. Yeah, I did have that thought too as the brushes make you think that they look redundant so maybe those could be thumbnails of what they really look like. Just another hint to scan things faster. I've been thinking why textures don't have a preview everywhere because it really speeds things up, especially in the node editor. They can also create icons for each type too. But I still think thumbnails are the way to go and is how most tools do it nowadays.

This is an updated version. Funny thing is that all image textures and noises have their thumbnail in other drop-down menus so they should all work the same way for consistency. Texture_Properties_Menu2

@luisburdallo: I forgot to add names to the right of each loaded texture. Maybe they should also have their name as they appear in any other dropdown menu.
