Artifact-free screen scaling for a canvas game, limited to 1X, 2X, 4X
// Adapted from Zachary Johnson's Commander Clone 0.2 screen scaling example http://www.zachstronaut.com/projects/commander-clone/0.2/game.html
// Modified to strictly choose 1X or 2X or 4X scaling as appopriate, so we don't end up with screwed up scaling artifacts.
// NOTE: uses jQuery for the DOM load event
