make card sizing more flexible

What would you like to add

Currently the camera and media cards only allows for certain 2x2 or whole display. On my Guition display with four rows I would like the camera to span 2 wide and 3 high such that I still have room for two buttons underneath the camera feed.

Would it be possible to make card sizing completely flexible instead of only having the predefined sizes?

This is in 0.4.32 (firmware 0.19.0): a tile can now be any rectangle smaller than the page, and the whole page too. Select it in the editor and drag its right or bottom edge. On a Guition with four rows, a camera of 2 x 3 with two buttons under it is exactly what it takes. Update ESP Screen Manager first, then the screen: until the screen has 0.19.0, the editor keeps offering the sizes it knew.
