Slicing support for texture atlas (#12059)

# Objective

Follow up to #11600 and #10588 
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/11944 made clear that some
people want to use slicing with texture atlases

## Changelog

* Added support for `TextureAtlas` slicing and tiling.
`SpriteSheetBundle` and `AtlasImageBundle` can now use `ImageScaleMode`
* Added new `ui_texture_atlas_slice` example using a texture sheet
