Sprite and image scaling

Orbis Basic v5.0.16 now includes easy scaling commands for both images and sprites.

• PUTSCALE draws and zooms full images or image sections.
• SPRITESCALE brings the same idea to sprite-sheet based animation.

This makes it simple to create classic 32X-style effects directly from BASIC, such as:

• zooming characters
• large bosses
• pseudo-depth movement
• intro logos
• arcade-style sprite scaling

No low-level 32X rendering code required.
