#190 Allow options to be specified for Starters and Templates
Purpose
Provide a way to set certain options for Starter and Template images (found via the "New" dialog). This would be much like the options available for stamps and brushes, found in ".dat" files.
Motivation
Allow setting some options for these kinds of images, and utilize them within Tux Paint. Examples:
specifying how, when, and even if, an image should be stretched (aspect ratio changed) to fit a differently-shaped canvas (rather than simply having its edges "smeared" to the edges of the canvas)
specifying whether the image can be flipped or mirrored (to avoid text going the wrong way, e.g. with the chessboard image)
Started on this. Added support for two options: "allowscale", with three settings: "horizontal", "vertical", and "both"... and "background", with "smear" (default) or a color (hex or decimal) to use as the background.
