feat: Add the ability to specify a render region

What was the problem/requirement? (What/Why)

Alison Hardy's blog post https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/media/create-a-tile-rendering-job-with-modifications-for-aws-deadline-cloud/ does a great job walking through the development process to create a tile render job. I gave her some ideas for how to update her deadline-cloud-for-maya change to get it merged, but she didn't have sufficient time at the end of her internship to finish that.

What was the solution? (How)

I've completed the changes I suggested to switch the tiling parameters into more general region render parameters.

This builds on the work of @alichiba. I have adjusted the change from tile index parameters into region render parameters. This works for the tile render case as well as for other region rendering.

Also refactor how the image resolution gets set, switching it from render function parameters to setting properties in the scene.

Commit from @alichiba:

feat: add tile rendering configuration to arnold handler

What is the impact of this change?

Once we merge a corresponding change to provide a tile rendering sample job bundle, customers will be able to run tile renders with Maya/Arnold and FFmpeg on Deadline Cloud.

How was this change tested?

I built my changes into a maya-openjd conda package that I published to an S3 conda channel, and submitted a tile render job and the turntable job. Both of these use the adaptor, without using the submitter.

Have you run the unit tests? I tried to, but the hatch command does not succeed.

Did you run the "Job Bundle Output Tests"? If not, why not? If so, paste the test results here.

Was this change documented?

Updated the schemas for the init-data/run-data additions.

Is this a breaking change?

No, this adds new options without removing/changing the existing ones.
