Bitmap export dialog

Description

There should be some dialog when exporting images as bitmaps.

  1. For formats that support transparency, users should be allowed to choose whether to export transparent images or include the configured current background color.
  2. They should be able to choose whether the image should be tilable (and as small as possible for a given tiling pattern), or rather a tiled area of a specific size.
  3. When the translative cell is tilted and a tilable image is requested, there is a compromise between preservation of this tilt and resulting file size, over which users should get some control.

It might make sense to make a bitmap format the default export format, as there are compatibility issues with PS and PDF, and as vector formats are much harder to post-process to most users.
