Add X and Y Direction Array Pattern

[lazerstation]

It would be great if you could extend the existing pattern/array functionality so that objects can be duplicated in both the X and Y directions simultaneously, rather than only along the X axis as it currently works.

The existing X-direction copying functionality should remain unchanged, but I want to introduce additional Y-direction controls so that users can create a two-dimensional array of objects.

Required functionality:

1. X Direction
   Retain the existing functionality for copying objects along the X axis.
   Allow the user to specify the number of copies and the spacing between each copy.
2. Y Direction
   Add an additional option to specify the number of copies along the Y axis.
   Allow the user to specify the spacing between each copy in the Y direction.
3. Combined X and Y Directions
   Both directions should work simultaneously.
   The system should generate a grid/array of objects based on the selected X and Y copy counts and their respective spacing values.
   Each new object should maintain the same dimensions, orientation and properties as the original object.
   Example:

If the user selects:
X copies: 4
X spacing: 100mm
Y copies: 3
Y spacing: 150mm
The result should be a rectangular array containing 12 objects (4 columns × 3 rows).

The X and Y values should be independent, allowing users to create:
A single horizontal row (X only).
A single vertical column (Y only).
A complete rectangular grid (X and Y together).
The intention is to create a proper 2D array of duplicated objects, using the existing X-copy functionality as the starting point rather than replacing it.

@lazerstation good idea, it's in now: the Pattern tool has a third layout, Grid, next to Row and Circle. Set Columns along X with Spacing X and Rows along Y with Spacing Y, and the whole grid comes in one step: 4 columns 100 mm apart and 3 rows 150 mm apart give your 12 pieces. One column or one row gives a single line along Y or X, and the Row layout works as before. A grid has at most 100 pieces. The guide describes it under Patterns.

@lazerstation thank you very much for the kind words and for the donation. The grid is out in layerling 1.135.1: https://github.com/henmedia/layerling/releases/tag/v1.135.1.
