Merge pull request #1634 from 1Jamie/game-corner-extraction-fix

Implemented a new deinterleave function in ImageWriter to restore row-major order for PNGs. Updated RomExtractorGen2 to utilize this function for extracting Slot Machine graphics, and added new functions for padding and writing graphics sheets. Updated the ROM manifests to include necessary symbols for Slots and Card Flip assets.
