public write Current render pass

[omaremad]

Currently the active E_SCENE_NODE_RENDER_PASS is read only via get method in smgr.

Would it be a good idea to have public acess to it, since allot of postprocessing/shader systems render nodes in custom orders rather than those by smgr->drawAll().

Things like meshnodes need the current pass type to render transparency correctly.

I made a patch for this feature, its useful to over ride the scenemanger's current pass if methods other than draw all are used.
