Title: Add 'scale factor' option to Mapnik image provider

Adds the optional 'scale factor' argument in the config for Mapnik's
image provider. Allows a TileStache layer to be configured for retina.

This allows specifying the 'scale_factor' option the ImageProvider. It's used to render retina tiles.
