render_source shouldn't be positioned in the center

Breaking change: Previously, render_source replaced an icon with the render_target by anchoring to the center of the icon. This was stupid, because it created the need for hacky workarounds and it produced a ton of annoying bugs, but it was also unintuitive. Now, when render_source replaces an icon it anchors to the lower left, just as if you were simply using a different icon.

Descriptive Problem Summary:

render_source tries to position relative to the center of the icon it's replacing, which is dumb. It causes a lot of problems that need to be corrected manually, and requires hacky workarounds when used for plane masters.

Better behavior is to anchor to the lower left like a regular icon.
