Panel now holds data on how it should be rendered and render just uses that instead of calculating it.

 TODAY'S GOAL:
 
-TODO:
+* Clean up renderer.
 * panels and everything except renderer should use character coodinates
 * panels should know if they're text vs. grid rendered
+* Image -> Text converter.
+
+
+TODO:
+* Keep panel unified by implementing border and backing on grids too.
 * Can std::any be defaulted to a noop in the events?
 * Save file isn't saving gold.
 * Inventory needs to be better, but need some kinds of "weapons" or other loot to get and not just gold.
