feat: Introduce Dungeon Object Emulator Preview and Object Drawing Enhancements

- Added DungeonObjectEmulatorPreview for rendering dungeon objects using the SNES emulator, allowing real-time visualization of object graphics.
- Implemented ObjectDrawer class to handle drawing of various object types to background buffers, utilizing game-specific patterns.
- Updated DungeonCanvasViewer to integrate object rendering and improve background layer management.
- Enhanced DungeonEditorV2 to support the new emulator preview, providing a more interactive editing experience.
- Improved error handling and logging for better debugging during object rendering operations.
