ba97c81b55 Loading Screen
* pkg/loadscreen implements a global Loading Screen for loading heavy
  levels for playing or editing.
* All chunks in a level are pre-rendered to bitmap before gameplay
  begins, which reduces stutter as chunks were being lazily rendered on
  first appearance before.
* The loading screen can be played with in the developer console:
  $ loadscreen.Show()
  $ loadscreen.Hide()
  Along with ShowWithProgress(), SetProgress(float64) and IsActive()
* Chunker: separate the concerns between Bitmaps an (SDL2) Textures.
* Chunker.Prerender() converts a chunk to a bitmap (a Go image.Image)
  and caches it, only re-rendering if marked as dirty.
* Chunker.Texture() will use the pre-cached bitmap if available to
  immediately produce the SDL2 texture.

Other miscellaneous changes:

* Added to the Colored Pencil palette: Sandstone
* Added "perlin noise" brush pattern

eb24858830 Brush Pattern Textures
Palette swatches gain a new property: Pattern.

Patterns are grayscale textures that the swatch color will sample
against when drawing pixels to the level, by taking the world coordinate
modulo a value inside the texture.

A few algorithms were tried (Screen, Overlay), this branch lands on one
that tries to cast the color from grayscale which comes out rather dark;
to get a patterned color to look black while still seeing the pattern,
the color needs to be as bright as #777 to get the effect.
