Doodads should be able to embed their own sound effects (and music?) which would be handled similarly to Wallpaper embeds in levels.

When actor scripts call Sound.Play() it should check their embedded sounds first before checking the global sounds. This avoids any conflict in file naming or lets a doodad override a game's default sound.

`doodad` tool

The CLI must allow creating a doodad with embedded sound files (flags for doodad convert or doodad edit

In-game UI

In the Level Editor we already have the Attachments UI that lists (and deletes) embedded files (wallpapers and doodads).

It could be repurposed in the Doodad Editor to also allow uploading arbitrary files right there. Users would upload SFX into their doodad by going thru the Attachments window.
