Editor GPU: Add a developer command that brings up a live texture atlas viewer in a webview editor #221216

Right now the prototype just draws the texture atlas over the top of the screen:

It would be handy if we could run a developer command to bring up a webview editor that showed a live view of the texture atlas. This should pay dividends from the time it would save during development and investigating user issues.

I wouldn't use a webview editor though, just some dom overlay, like a modal dialog maybe. Much easier to implement, especially for a debug-only tool.

@hediet that works too, it would be good for users to be able to do this. But it would be even better if we could zoom into it and copy the image. Seeing the alpha value might be important which won't be possible without copying or putting it on a custom checkered background.
