Fix skinned meshes not playing their last frame.

Also clarified animation documentation to describe current behavior more exactly.
CSkinnedMesh had returned the last key instead of the number of keys.
Thx to whoever mentioned to me once that our example dwarf is not playing his full animation in the meshviewer.

 --------------------------
 Changes in 1.9 (not yet released)
 
+- Fix skinned meshes not playing their last frame. Also clarified animation documentation to describe current behavior more exactly.
 - Add IWriteFile::flush interface (thx @ JLouisB for the patch).
 - CLightSceneNode::updateAbsolutePosition does now light recalculations. This is to fix using animators with lights.
 - Fix collada export for objects with rotations around more than 1 axis.
