Native layout editor within setup configurations

One thing that has been missing from the native setup configuration UI is a layout editor. Right now visual layout editing requires a custom configuration interface implemented in JavaScript as the one implemented within the Scheduled Player package. While possible, having such a features natively provided by the info-beamer dashboard would be nice and would open up more visual editing in packages.

This has now been added. Any List option with at least the item options x, y, width and height now automatically gets an additional graphical interface for editing these values. The canvas size is detected from surrounding width, height and rotation values. The older Flexible Grid Video Wall package immediately benefits from that can layout of individual screens can now be edited visually. Here’s now that looks like:

The UI width could be set to 0 to completely hide the per-item coordinates and rely on visual-only editing. Packages will be updated to use this feature in the future. Stay tuned.
