Add an eraser to the pen extension. #353

Original: scratchfoundation/scratch-gui#5406

Add the ability to erase pen, just like how you draw with it.

After talking with a few people, we came to the conclusion that the best way to implement this, and the easiest for people to understand, would probably be adding the following blocks:

  • eraser down
    "eraser down" block
    • This would start erasing any pen trials, based on where the sprite is. Of course, if the pen is already down, it would pen up first, then turn on the eraser. (And the other way around, if the eraser is down when pen down is called, it would eraser up first.)
  • eraser up
    • This would stop erasing.

The size of the eraser would be the same size that pen is currently at.

Optionally we could add a cut/punch hole block, which is basically the stamp block but inverted. (Still trying to think of a good name for it.)

@cwillisf , I would like to start working on this as soon as possible, so if you could approve of this, it would be much appreciated.
