[New Feature] Generalized mesh Frame

[Gouvernathor]

A more general 2D mesh system which Frame and Tile could be special cases of.
It would basically allow slicing an image horizontally and vertically into rectangular zones, and arbitrarily saying which and how much each is tiled and/or stretched.

Just tossing an idea out here - the px type/object, as part of specifying these.

The idea would be something like a shorter name for absolute that could combine with object. For example, to specify the x expansion, one could do:

[ 0px, 10px, 0.5 - 10*px, 0.5 + 10*px, 1.0 - 10*px, 1.0 ]

Where 1.0 - 10 * px means "10 pixels to the left of the right side of the screen."

Theoretically, now we have access to GPU based rendering, 9-patch (using opaque/transparent pixels along two sides to dictate the (possibly multiple) stretch parts) should be quite feasible.

Ren'Py's Frame is nine-patch.
