f18dcf9c2c Move Editor Canvas Into UI + UI Improvements
* Increase the default window size from 800x600 to 1024x768.
* Move the drawing canvas in EditorMode to inside the EditorUI where it can
  be better managed with the other widgets it shares the screen with.
* Slightly fix Frame packing bug (with East orientation) that was causing
  right-aligned statusbar items to be partially cropped off-screen. Moved a
  couple statusbar labels in EditorMode to the right.
* Add `Parent()` and `Adopt()` methods to widgets for when they're managed
  by containers like the Frame.
* Add utility functions to UI toolkit for computing a widget's Absolute
  Position and Absolute Rect, by crawling all parent widgets and summing
  them up.
* Add `lib/debugging` package with useful stack tracing utilities.
* Add `make guitest` to launch the program into the GUI Test.
  The command line flag is: `doodle -guitest`
* Console: add a `close` command which returns to the MainScene.
* Initialize the font cache directory (~/.cache/doodle/fonts) but don't
  extract the fonts there yet.

a7fd3aa1ca Doodad Edit Mode: Saving and Loading From Disk
Adds the first features to Edit Mode to support creation of Doodad
files! The "New Doodad" button pops up a prompt for a Doodad size
(default 100px) and configures the Canvas widget and makes a Doodad
struct instead of a Level to manage.

* Move the custom Canvas widget from `level.Canvas` to `uix.Canvas`
  (the uix package is for our custom UI widgets now)
* Rename the `doodads.Doodad` interface (for runtime instances of
  Doodads) to `doodads.Actor` and make `doodads.Doodad` describe the
  file format and JSON schema instead.
* Rename the `EditLevel()` method to `EditDrawing()` and it inspects the
  file extension to know whether to launch the Edit Mode for a Level or
  for a Doodad drawing.
* Doodads can be edited by using the `-edit` CLI flag or using the
  in-game file open features (including `edit` command of dev console).
* Add a `Scrollable` boolean to uix.Canvas to restrict the keyboard
  being able to scroll the level, for editing Doodads which have a fixed
  size.

5434484b6e Abstract Drawing Canvas into Reusable Widget
The `level.Canvas` is a widget that holds onto its Palette and Grid and
has interactions to allow scrolling and editing the grid using the
swatches available on the palette.

Thus all of the logic in the Editor Mode for drawing directly onto the
root SDL surface are now handled inside a level.Canvas instance.

The `level.Canvas` widget has the following properties:
* Like any widget it has an X,Y position and a width/height.
* It has a Scroll position to control which slice of its drawing will be
  visible inside its bounding box.
* It supports levels having negative coordinates for their pixels. It
  doesn't care. The default Scroll position is (0,0) at the top left
  corner of the widget but you can scroll into the negatives and see the
  negative pixels.
* Keyboard keys will scroll the viewport inside the canvas.
* The canvas draws only the pixels that are visible inside its bounding
  box.

This feature will eventually pave the way toward:
* Doodads being dropped on top of your map, each Doodad being its own
  Canvas widget.
* Using drawings as button icons for the user interface, as the Canvas
  is a normal widget.
