8965a7d86a Doodads: Crumbly Floor, Start Flag & State Blocks
Add new doodads:

* Start Flag: place this in a level to set the spawn point of the player
  character. If no flag is found, the player spawns at 0,0 in the top
  corner of the map. Only use one Start Flag per level, otherwise the
  player will randomly spawn at one of them.
* Crumbly Floor: a solid floor that begins to shake and then fall apart
  after a moment when a mobile character steps on it. The floor respawns
  after 5 seconds.
* State Blocks: blue and orange blocks that toggle between solid and
  pass-thru whenever a State Button is activated.
* State Button: a solid "ON/OFF" block that toggles State Blocks back
  and forth when touched. Only activates if touched on the side or bottom;
  acts as a solid floor when walked on from the top.

New features for doodad scripts:

* Actor scripts: call SetMobile(true) to mark an actor as a mobile mob
  (i.e. player character or enemy). Other doodads can check if the actor
  colliding with them IsMobile so they don't activate if placed too close
  to other (non-mobile) doodads in a level. The Blue and Red Azulians
  are the only mobile characters so far.
* Message.Broadcast allows sending a pub/sub message out to ALL doodads
  in the level, instead of only to linked doodads as Message.Publish does.
  This is used for the State Blocks to globally communicate on/off status
  without needing to link them all together manually.

5d8c5510d8 Draw Lines Visualizing Doodad Links in Edit Mode
* If the current edit tool is Actor or Link, use the new drawtool.Stroke
  object to draw visual lines connecting every pair of linked actors in
  the level. The lines are hidden during normal editing and gameplay and
  only appear when you're possibly manipulating your actors and links.

0c22ecae5e Level Exit Doodad
* Add a Level Exit doodad, which for now is a little blue flag on a pole
  that reads "END"
* JavaScript API: global function EndLevel() will end the level. The
  exit doodad calls this when touched by the player.
* Add a "Level Completed" alert box UI to PlayScene with dynamic button
  layouts.
  * The alert box pops up when a doodad calls EndLevel() and contains
    action buttons what to do next.
  * "Play Again" restarts the current level again.
  * "Edit Level" if you came from the EditorScene; otherwise this button
    is not visible.
  * "Next Level" is a to-be-implemented button to advance in the single
    player story mode. Only shows up when PlayScene.HasNext=true.
  * "Exit to Menu" is always visible and closes out to the MainScene.

99eab19c5b Pub/Sub Messages Between Linked Actors (JavaScript)
* Implement the pub/sub message passing system that lets the JavaScript
  VM of one actor (say, a Button) send messages to other linked actors
  in the level (say, an Electric Door)
* Buttons now emit a "power(true)" message while pressed and
  "power(false)" when released. Sticky Buttons do not release and so do
  not send the power(false) message.
* Electric Doors listen for the "power" event and open or close
  themselves based on the boolean value received.
* If a Sticky Button receives power and is currently pressed down, it
  will pop back up (reset to "off" position) and notify its linked
  actors that they have lost power too. So if a Sticky Button held an
  Electric Door open, and another Button powers the Sticky Button, it
  would pop back up and also close the Electric Door.

258b2eb285 Script Timers, Multiple Doodad Frames
* CLI: fix the `doodad convert` command to share the same Palette when
  converting each frame (layer) of a doodad so subsequent layers find
  the correct color swatches for serialization.
* Scripting: add timers and intervals to Doodad scripts to allow them to
  animate themselves or add delayed callbacks. The timers have the same
  API as a web browser: setTimeout(), setInterval(), clearTimeout(),
  clearInterval().
* Add support for uix.Actor to change its currently rendered layer in
  the level. For example a Button Doodad can set its image to Layer 1
  (pressed) when touched by the player, and Trapdoors can cycle through
  their layers to animate opening and closing.
  * Usage from a Doodad script: Self.ShowLayer(1)
* Default Doodads: added scripts for all Buttons, Doors, Keys and the
  Trapdoor to run their various animations when touched (in the case of
  Keys, destroy themselves when touched, because there is no player
  inventory yet)

1e80304061 Initial Doodad JavaScript System
* Add the JavaScript system for Doodads to run their scripts in levels,
  and wire initial OnCollide() handler support.
* CLI: Add a `doodad install-script` command to the doodad tool.
  * Usage: `doodad install-script <index.js> <filename.doodad>`
* Add dev-assets folder for storing source files for the official
  default doodads, sprites, levels, etc. and for now add a JavaScript
  for the first test doodad.
