[REQUEST] Various potential improvements. #62

Some various improvements I've found whilst making my preset for this:

Text shifting

Currently all of the text associated with most HUD elements is completely static and not modifiable at all, the most notable example of this is the armor durability text, which cannot be moved at all and in my case covers up a bit of my inventory wheel. Having the ability to control where this text and others like it is placed on my screen would be incredibly helpful.

Development Icons for any Icons not included in the base mod.

This just makes making a HUD preset without having to load every single one of the addons supported possible. Makes thing easier to create with.

Alignment Lines

Sprites that just are lines that go across the entire screen that can be toggled to properly align certain Hud elements, like having a centered health bar, et cetera. Like the previous one, makes development easier.

More Compass options.

I'd like to see some more options pertaining to the compass, like shifting the position text separately from the compass and having an angle marker, like how Cozi's Hideous Helmet fork did it, as some options to the vanilla compass to make it a bit more customizable.

I definitely like the alignment lines idea, maybe tie them to hd_debug?

Text offset is on the list, good to have a formal request nonetheless.

I'll have to look into checking if an icon exists, otherwise use a dummy one. Not terribly difficult but will require some infrastructure/helper methods
