Subject: render: Refactor sprite rendering.

* chickadee/render/texture.scm (<texture-region>): Delete type.
(<texture>)[width, height, gl-size]: Delete fields.
[parent, rect, gl-rect]: Add fields.
(texture-region?): Rewrite.
(make-texture, null-texture): Use new texture constructor.
(make-texture-region): Rewrite in terms of <texture> type.
(list->texture-atlas, split-texture): Use new texture region
constructor.
* chickadee/render/sprite.scm (draw-sprite*): New procedure.
(draw-sprite): Rewrite in terms of draw-sprite*.
(draw-nine-patch*): New procedure.
(draw-nine-patch): Rewrite in terms of draw-nine-patch*.
* chickadee/render/font.scm (draw-text*): New procedure.
(draw-text): Rewrite in terms of draw-text*.
* doc/api.texi: Update draw-sprite, draw-nine-patch, and draw-text
docs.

+Draw @var{texture} at @var{position}.

+Optionally, other transformations may be applied to the sprite.
+@var{rotation} specifies the angle to rotate the sprite, in radians.
+@var{scale} specifies the scaling factor as a 2D vector.  All
+transformations are applied relative to @var{origin}, a 2D vector,
+which defaults to the lower-left corner.
+
+Alpha blending is used by default but the blending method can be
+changed by specifying @var{blend-mode}.
+
+The area drawn to is as big as the texture, by default.  To draw to an
+arbitrary section of the screen, specify @var{rect}.
 
+Finally, advanced users may specify @var{shader} to change the way the
+sprite is rendered entirely.
