962098d4e7 v0.11.0 last minute tweaks
* When playing as the Bird, the dive attack is able to destroy other
  mobile doodads such as Azulians and Thieves.
* The Box has been made invulnerable so it can't be destroyed by Anvils
  or player-controlled Birds.
* Bugfixes with pop-up modals:
  * The quit game confirm modal doesn't appear if another modal is
    already active on screen.
  * The Escape key can dismiss Alert and Confirm modals.
* Add "Level" menu items to Play Mode to restart the level or retry from
  the last checkpoint (in case of softlocks, etc.)

d16a8657aa Window Icon, UI Polish
* SDL2 builds of the game now set their app window icon.
* Create/Edit Level window is updated to show a tabbed UI to create a
  new Level or a new Doodad. The dedicated main menu button to create a
  new doodad (which immediately prompted for its size) is replaced by
  this new tab's UI.
* Edit Drawing/Play Level window is more responsive to smaller screen
  sizes by drawing fewer columns of filenames.
* Bugfix: the Alert and Confirm modals always re-center themselves on
  screen, especially to adapt between Portrait or Landscape mode on a
  mobile device.

d4e6d9babb 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

Note: this commit introduces instability and crashes:

* New `asyncSetup()` functions run on a goroutine, but SDL2 texture
  calls must run on the main thread.
* Chunker avoids this by caching bitmaps, not textures.
* Wallpaper though is unstable, sometimes works, sometimes has graphical
  glitches, sometimes crashes the game.
* Wallpaper.Load() and the *Texture() functions are where it crashes.

d9bca2152a WIP Publish Dialog + UI Improvements
* File->Publish Level in the Level Editor opens the Publish window,
  where you can embed custom doodads into your level and export a
  portable .level file you can share with others.
* Currently does not actually export a level file yet.
* The dialog lists all unique doodad names in use in your level, and
  designates which are built-ins and which are custom (paginated).
* A checkbox would let the user embed built-in doodads into their level,
  as well, locking it in to those versions and not using updated
  versions from future game releases.

UI Improvements:
* Added styling for a "Primary" UI button, rendered in deep blue.
* Pop-up modals (Alert, Confirm) color their Ok button as Primary.
* The Enter key pressed during an Alert or Confirm modal will invoke its
  default button and close the modal, corresponding to its Primary
  button.
* The developer console is now opened with the tilde/grave key ` instead
  of the Enter key, so that the Enter key is free to click through
  modals.
* In the "Open/Edit Drawing" window, a "Browse..." button is added to
  the level and doodad sections, spawning a native File Open dialog to
  pick a .level or .doodad outside the config root.

190d4be1b6 Layer Selection Window for Doodad Editor
* When editing a doodad in the Editor Mode, the toolbar has a "Lyr."
  button that opens the Layers window.
* The Layers window allows switching the active doodad layer that you
  are drawing on, as well as create and rename layers.
* With this feature, Doodads may be fully drawn in-game, including
  adding alternate named layers for animations and multiple-state
  doodads.
* Update the Pager component to have a configurable MaxPageButtons.
  Controls that have more pages than this limit will stop having buttons
  drawn after the limit. The "Forward" and "Next" buttons can still
  navigate into the extra pages.
* Refactored and centralized the various popup windows in Editor Mode
  into editor_ui_popups.go; the SetupPopups() and various methods such
  as ShowPaletteWindow() and ShowDoodadDropper() make management of
  popups simple for the editor_ui!
* The Menu Bar in Editor Mode now has context-specific tools in the
  Tools menu: the Doodad Dropper for levels and Layers for doodads.
* Bugfix the Palette Editor window to work equally between Levels and
  Doodads, by only having it care about the Palette and not the Level
  that owns it.

336a949ed0 Global UI Popup Modals
* Adds global modal support in the pkg/modal/ package. It has easy
  Alert() and Confirm() methods to prompt the user before calling a
  callback function on affirmative response.
* Modals have global app state: they're processed in the main loop in
  pkg/doodle.go similar to the global command shell.
* When a modal is active, a semitransparent black frame covers the
  screen (gameplay loop paused, last game frame rendered below) and the
  modal window appears on top.
* The developer console retains higher priority than the modal system
  and always renders on top.
* Editor Mode: track when the level pixels have been modified, and
  confirm the user about unsaved changes when they attempt to close the
  level (New, Open, Close, etc.)
* Global: the Escape key no longer immediately shuts down the game, but
  will confirm the user's intent via a modal.
* File->Quit in the Editor Mode also invokes the confirm shutdown modal.
