Pixi.js: [FEATURE] add support for texturepacker polygon algorithm.

[akhimchak]

Hello,
Please add support for polygon pack method, this is very important feature that will dramatically reduce atlases sizes which is very important in gamedev.

I think this is a duplicate of #2243

[akhimchak]

May I ask add that feature for v4?

@akhimchak Its in my TODO least for a year already, but there are so many things, and my strategy is just pick a random one.

So far no one gave me the case that shows that polygon packing will help in their project more than, for example, https://github.com/pixijs/pixi-compressed-textures which reduces videomemory usage 4 times.

Anyway, I think that i'll make it as a plugin in a month or two. Again, its possible if I pick that by a chance ;)

Alternatively, someone may explain me why is this thing so important, may be show me the case for it.

@ivanpopelyshev
i am making a small plugin for my project with this pro feature from texture packer.
plugin link

this is not a very important feature, but I think it would be great to be able to optimize these sprite Sheets to the maximum.
I wonder though if the rendering and the updates will be no heavier.
for calculate polygons rather than squares ?

for now the MULTIPACK do the jobs for not exeed the sprite sheet limit size
