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.

cb02feff1d Add Switches, Fire/Water Collision and Play Menu
* New doodads: Switches.
  * They come in four varieties: wall switch (background element, with
    "ON/OFF" text) and three side-profile switches for the floor, left
    or right walls.
  * On collision with the player, they flip their state from "OFF" to
    "ON" or vice versa. If the player walks away and then collides
    again, the switch flips again.
  * Can be used to open/close Electric Doors when turned on/off. Their
    default state is "off"
  * If a switch receives a power signal from another linked switch, it
    sets its own state to match. So, two "on/off" switches that are
    connected to a door AND to each other will both flip on/off when one
    of them flips.
* Update the Level Collision logic to support Decoration, Fire and Water
  pixel collisions.
  * Previously, ALL pixels in the level were acting as though solid.
  * Non-solid pixels don't count for collision detection, but their
    attributes (fire and water) are collected and returned.
* Updated the MenuScene to support loading a map file in Play Mode
  instead of Edit Mode. Updated the title screen menu to add a button
  for playing levels instead of editing them.
* Wrote some documentation.

d28745f89e Mobile Enemy Doodad Test
* Add a Red Azulian as a test for mobile enemies.
  * Its A.I. has it walk back and forth, changing directions when it
    comes up against an obstacle for a few moments.
  * It plays walking animations and can trigger collision events with
    other Doodads, such as the Electric Door and Trapdoor.
* Move Gravity responsibility to the doodad scripts themselves.
  * Call `Self.SetGravity(true)` to opt the Doodad in to gravity.
  * The canvas.Loop() adds gravity to any doodad that has it enabled.

693664db6c Shareware Build Flags
* Build the app with -tags="shareware" to compile the free/shareware
  build of the game.
* `make build-free` compiles both binaries to the bin/ folder in
  shareware mode.
* The constant balance.FreeVersion is true in the shareware build and
  all functionality related to the Doodad Editor UI mode is disabled
  in this build mode.

bca848d534 Wallpapers and Bounded Levels
Implement the Wallpaper system into the levels and the concept of
Bounded and Unbounded levels.

The first wallpaper image is notepad.png which looks like standard ruled
notebook paper. On bounded levels, the top/left edges of the page look
as you would expect and the blue lines tile indefinitely in the positive
directions. On unbounded levels, you only get the repeating blue lines
but not the edge pieces.

A wallpaper is just a rectangular image file. The image is divided into
four equal quadrants to be the Corner, Top, Left and Repeat textures for
the wallpaper. The Repeat texture is ALWAYS used and fills all the empty
space behind the drawing. (Doodads draw with blank canvases as before
because only levels have wallpapers!)

Levels have four options of a "Page Type":
- Unbounded       (default, infinite space)
- NoNegativeSpace (has a top left edge but can grow infinitely)
- Bounded         (has a top left edge and bounded size)
- Bordered        (bounded with bordered texture; NOT IMPLEMENTED!)

The scrollable viewport of a Canvas will respect the wallpaper and page
type settings of a Level loaded into it. That is, if the level has a top
left edge (not Unbounded) you can NOT scroll to see negative coordinates
below (0,0) -- and if the level has a max dimension set, you can't
scroll to see pixels outside those dimensions.

The Canvas property NoLimitScroll=true will override the scroll locking
and let you see outside the bounds, for debugging.

- Default map settings for New Level are now:
  - Page Type: NoNegativeSpace
  - Wallpaper: notepad.png (default)
  - MaxWidth: 2550  (8.5" * 300 ppi)
  - MaxHeight: 3300 ( 11" * 300 ppi)

0044b72943 Drag Doodads Onto Levels in Edit Mode
Add the ability to drag and drop Doodads onto the level. The Doodad
buttons on the palette now trigger a Drag/Drop behavior when clicked,
and a "blueprint colored" version of the Doodad follows your cursor,
centered on it.

Actors are assigned a random UUID ID when they are placed into a level.

The Canvas gained a MaskColor property that forces all pixels in the
drawing to render as the same color. This is a visual-only effect, and
is used when dragging Doodads in so they render as "blueprints" instead
of their actual colors until they are dropped.

Fix the chunk bitmap cache system so it saves in the $XDG_CACHE_FOLDER
instead of /tmp and has better names. They go into
`~/.config/doodle/chunks/` and have UUID file names -- but they
disappear quickly! As soon as they are cached into SDL2 they are removed
from disk.

Other changes:

- UI: Add Hovering() method that returns the widgets that are beneath
      a point (your cursor) and those that are not, for easy querying
      for event propagation.
- UI: Add ability to return an ErrStopPropagation to tell the master
      Scene (outside the UI) not to continue sending events to other
      parts of the code, so that you don't draw pixels during a drag
      event.
