Add UI scaling (#5814)

# Objective

- Allow users to change the scaling of the UI
- Adopted from #2808

## Solution

- This is an accessibility feature for fixed-size UI elements, allowing the developer to expose a range of UI scales for the player to set a scale that works for their needs.

> - The user can modify the UiScale struct to change the scaling at runtime. This multiplies the Px values by the scale given, while not touching any others.
> - The example showcases how this even allows for fluid transitions

> Here's how the example looks like:

## Changelog

- Added a `UiScale` which can be used to scale all of UI
