Description

**AsIs - very thin Tile Object Outlines:**
![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1249266/158078986-0a4cb71d-49e6-4386-a215-afcc13b305a0.png)

**ToBe:**
Similar to setting the implemented "Object Line Width" I would like to set the width of "Tile Object Outlines" in pixels because on high-res / high DPI displays (4k) it's hard to see them at all. Especially with using the Object Type's nice feature of having colored outlines that would be very helpful.

Same ist for the thickness of the general **Grid** - could we have a setting here, too?

Research direction

Start by finding the existing "Object Line Width" preference and the code that draws Tile Object Outlines and the Grid. Trace how that setting reaches the editor view, then determine where preferences for both widths belong. Done means both widths can be configured in pixels and remain visible on high-DPI displays.
