Loads the PNG at <code>path</code> and records that its cells are <code>cellw x cellh</code> px, returning a sheet <em>handle</em>. Address its cells with <a href="sprite-cell"><code>Sprite.cell</code></a> / <a href="sprite-cell_span"><code>Sprite.cell_span</code></a>. The whole image is kept (variable size), so cells are not restricted to the 16x16 sprite table.
