Why: because the interesting part of a render in progress might not
start at the top left, continuing on the right and proceding like a book
of western culture. (and it might be more fun to have the pictures
rendered with alternative ways)

Apply to 3.7beta38

Default remain left-to-right, top to bottom (ro1.png).
Additional possibilities are:
 - top-left to bottom, then left to right (ro2.png)
 - top corners, top line, then last line and ending on the center (ro3.png)
 - start at center, make it line by line (above & under alternatively)
(ro4.png)
 - left-most cornet, then last columns and ending on the center (ro5.png)
 - start at center, build central column and expand on each side.
(ro6.png)

Pictures are illustration from black to white of blocks' dispatching.

How to use: (syntax free to change for better naming)
===========
command line: +HGRO x (with x between 0 and 5)
ini file: HG_Render_Order=x

Interest: Up to you.
