Scale leaves verts normals unchanged

Summary:
There is no need to recalculate normals when scaling a mesh by a constant. We omit doing this for vertex normals. This will make things less confusing when we allow user-specified vertex normals.

Face normals also don't need recalculating, but they are calculated at the same time as face areas which do, so it is easiest not to change their behavior here. That is convenient because we are not immediately planning to allow user-specified face normals.
