The lifetime & width of particles can now be initialized and configured. This system follows the same modular approach as other initializers! Rather than specific initialization method being hardcoded into the Trails module itself, it's provided by external modules.

This makes it easy to add additional modules, where each module can have wildly different way of initializing the parameters! E.g. we can have ones that compute it by sampling a texture or a curve or from other properties.

There's still a few things to do to get the trails module to feature parity - notably the "ribbon" mode, which instead of each particle having its own trail, the trail actually goes through a bunch of particles.
