Expose sprite scaling in editor (DEFEDIT-1051)

[britzl]

Currently, sprite scale can be modified in runtime only (go.set("#sprite", "scale", vmath.vector3(...)). It would be very nice if scale could be set in the editor as well.

What we really want to do is to move the Scale properties from the components that have it up to the ComponentInstance where the Position and Rotation properties already reside.

• Investigate how much work it would be to move the Scale property to the ComponentInstance (engine, bob).

If this is not too much work, it might be worth doing before exposing Scale in the editors.

An alternative approach is to simply expose the Scale property on embedded Sprites and Labels, and hide it on Resources.

• Not a lot of work in Editor 2.
• Should do this in Editor 1 as well. Difficult?
• No change in Bob or the file formats.
• Scale property was never hidden for Label resources - Possibly write instructions for how to fix it using the References function in Editor 2 instead of performing a cross-file migration?

If we later decide to move the Scale property to the ComponentInstance, we need to update both editors to perform a simple migration on load. Bob also needs to be patched to read the Scale property from the old place if not present in the ComponentInstance.
