Subject: [PATCH] Create a utility for registering renders for Blocks/Items

Almost direct copypasta from [my project](https://github.com/TehNut/ResourcefulCrops/blob/1.8/src/main/java/tehnut/resourceful/crops/util/helper/RenderHelper.java). Allows you to simply register models for Items/Blocks for given Metadata's.

Call these from your ClientProxy in postInit. A working example can be seen [here](https://github.com/TehNut/ResourcefulCrops/blob/1.8/src/main/java/tehnut/resourceful/crops/proxy/ClientProxy.java#L21-L25) [[Items](https://github.com/TehNut/ResourcefulCrops/blob/1.8/src/main/java/tehnut/resourceful/crops/registry/ItemRegistry.java#L42-L52)] [[Blocks](https://github.com/TehNut/ResourcefulCrops/blob/1.8/src/main/java/tehnut/resourceful/crops/registry/BlockRegistry.java#L30-L34)].

Review this a bit more closely. I did it from the web editor and it may not have worked 100% correctly.
