Function: linear_blend

--Usage--
> linear_blend(
>    image1: image, image2: image,
>    x1: coordinate, y1: coordinate,
>    x2: coordinate, y2: coordinate,
> )

Blend two images together using a linear gradient.

The images must have the same size.

--Parameters--
! Parameter	Type			Description
| @image1@	[[type:image]]		First image to blend
| @image2@	[[type:image]]		Second image to blend
| @x1@,@y1@	[[type:double]]		Coordinates where the gradient begins, and the first image is shown for 100%
| @x2@,@y2@	[[type:double]]		Coordinates where the gradient ends, and the second image is shown for 100%

--Examples--
This gives a vertical gradient:
> linear_blend(image1: "image1.png", image2: "image2.png", x1:0, y1:0, x2:1, y2:1)  ==  [[Image]]
<pre style="padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;"> linear_blend(image1: <img src="image1.png" alt='"image1.png"' style="border:1px solid black;vertical-align:middle;" />, image2: <img src="image2.png" alt='"image2.png"' style="border:1px solid black;vertical-align:middle;" />, x1:0, y1:0, x2:1, y2:1) == <img src="image_linear_blend.png" alt='"image_linear_blend.png"' style="border:1px solid black;vertical-align:middle;" /></pre>
