Support "audio sprites" / playing a "clip" of an audio resource

[alanag13]

Context

Currently, without adding some form of additional logic, there is no flexibility over the duration of a sound's play. Additionally, a separate file needs to be supplied / loaded for every audio resource in the game.

Proposal

Solve both problems by providing APIs to play "clips" from a file rather than only the entire file. Example:

//ex.SoundClip implements same interface as ex.Sound
var audioResource = Resources.someSoundProvidedOnLoad;
var clip = new ex.SoundClip(audioResource, /*ms starting point */ 3000, /*ms duration */ 15500);
clip.play(); //plays 15.5 seconds of audioResource, starting at the 3 second mark

Wasnt there already a sound sprite issue? Maybe only groups...

I looked for one, but groups/sound manager was all i could find.

It was https://github.com/excaliburjs/Excalibur/issues/4, but I've closed it in favor of this one, which follows our new issue template.
