Add ability to remove sprite from grid

Original request here.

Wall support for grid.moveWithButtons()

It looks like the grid.moveWithButtons() does not support walls on the tilemap. Is it possible to get it to work with walls?

Tech bits that I tried:

I wanted to see if I can solve this on my own, however it looks like the only way to check walls is to ask TileMapData: https://github.com/microsoft/pxt-common-packages/blob/master/libs/game/tilemap.ts#L196

And that you cannot get TileMapData directly from the TileMap because it's protected:
https://github.com/microsoft/pxt-common-packages/blob/master/libs/game/tilemap.ts#L232

Any suggestion to get pass this issue?

Add option for smooth grid transitions

Add a way to stop a sprite from "moving on grid with buttons"

We need a way to undo this:
