Levels can now be converted to RLE encoded chunk accessors and be re-saved
continuously without any loss of information.
Off-by-one errors resolved:
* The rle.NewGrid() was adding a +1 everywhere making the 2D grids have 129
elements to a side for a 128 chunk size.
* In rle.Decompress() the cursor value and translation to X,Y coordinates is
fixed to avoid a pixel going missing at the end of the first row (128,0)
* The abs.X-- hack in UnmarshalBinary is no longer needed to prevent the
chunks from scooting a pixel to the right on every save.
Doodad tool updates:
* Remove unused CLI flags in `doodad resave` (actors, chunks, script,
attachment, verbose) and add a `--output` flag to save to a different file
name to the original.
* Update `doodad show` to allow debugging of RLE compressed chunks:
* CLI flag `--chunk=1,2` to specify a single chunk coordinate to debug
* CLI flag `--visualize-rle` will Visualize() RLE compressed chunks in
their 2D grid form in your terminal window (VERY noisy for large
levels! Use the --chunk option to narrow to one chunk).
Bug fixes and misc changes:
* Chunk.Usage() to return a better percentage of chunk utilization.
* Chunker.ChunkFromZipfile() was split out into two functions:
* RawChunkFromZipfile retrieves the raw bytes of the chunk as well as the
file extension discovered (.bin or .json) so the caller can interpret
the bytes correctly.
* ChunkFromZipfile calls the former function and then depending on file
extension, unmarshals from binary or json.
* The Raw function enables the `doodad show` command to debug and visualize
the raw contents of the RLE compressed chunks.
* Updated the Visualize() function for the RLE encoder: instead of converting
palette indexes to hex (0-F) which would begin causing problems for palette
indexes above 16 (as they would use two+ characters), indexes are mapped to
a wider range of symbols (0-9A-Z) and roll over if you have more than 36
colors on your level. This at least keeps the Visualize() grid an easy to
read 128x128 characters in your terminal.

The doodad tool is a command line interface for interacting with Levels and Doodad files, collectively referred to as "Doodle drawings" or just "drawings" for short.
Commands
doodad convert
Convert between standard image files (bitmap or PNG) and Doodle drawings (levels or doodads).
This command can be used to "export" a Doodle drawing as a PNG (when run against a Level file, it may export a massive PNG image containing the entire level). It may also "import" a new Doodle drawing from an image on disk.
Example:
# Export a full screenshot of your level
$ doodad convert mymap.level screenshot.png
# Create a new level based from a PNG image.
$ doodad convert scanned-drawing.png new-level.level
# Create a new doodad based from a BMP image, and in this image the chroma
# color (transparent) is #FF00FF instead of white as default.
$ doodad convert --key '#FF00FF' button.png button.doodad
Supported image types:
- PNG (8-bit or 24-bit, with transparent pixels or chroma key)
- BMP (bitmap image with chroma key)
The chrome key defaults to white (#FFFFFF), so pixels of that color are
treated as transparent and ignored. For PNG images, if a pixel is fully
transparent (alpha channel 0%) it will also be skipped.
When converting an image into a drawing, the unique colors identified in the drawing are extracted into the palette. You will need to later edit the palette to assign meaning to the colors.
