PrecacheMaterial is handled in the gameinterface to handle server to client
precaching...this method will not send materials to the client if they don't
have it, but it will register them for use on the server/client
map entities use this for FIELD_MATERIALINDEX
other than that, PrecacheMaterial hardly is used...
basically it's just used for map entities
PrecacheModel is used for game code material & model precaching
