Sprite offsets should always be horizontally centered

[fragglet]

There is a bug in vanilla Doom where horizontally mirrored sprites don't have their horizontal offsets mirrored to match. So monsters can end up "jumping around" all over the place when viewed mirrored.

Example from Freedoom: freedoom/freedoom@f6f5ee88365c6846726

There's a fairly simple solution which is to add blank space on the left or right size, so that horizontal offset = sprite width / 2. It would be nice if there was an option for deutex to just do this automatically for all sprites, or at least those with a mirrored version.

Does it matter which side the blank space is added? How can Deutex recognise sprites that are mirrored and are not from the commercial games?

Or should it just add the blank space to all the sprites by default?

Spaces only need adding for mirrored sprites. You can tell if it's mirrored by the lump name (PLAYA1 not mirrored, PLAYA2A8 is). Side to add depends on X offset and width. X offset should always be half the width. Consider a sprite 30 pixels wide. If X offset is 20, add 10 pixels of empty space to the right to correct. If X offset is 10, add 10 pixels of space to the left and adjust X offset to 20.
