* added two new commands (for debug/disaster recovery)

'show assets' shows the current state of the asset cache (number of cached assets, requests, et c)
  'clear-assets' forcibly re-initializes the asset cache thereby freeing all cached items.

'clear-assets' is not to be used lightly, as it probably introduces mem inconsistencies and doubling up of textures.
