Save as folder option

I think it would be nice to have the option to save projects into a folder instead of as a .sb3 file.
Sharing or exporting projects would still use the .sb3 format
The benefits of this:
- Better support for external tools
- Art & sound editors
- Version control: Being able to see version history per-file, branch, use remotes, etc would be a major improvement for projects being made by more than one person.
- Improvements to loading and saving time?
Potential issues:
- Since file names are based on their hash, modifying these files externally would mean a change in the hash.
- This would probably be pretty hard to implement
Other thoughts:
- To avoid the confusion, this shouldn't be the default
- To open the folder, users would select the project.json file
- Could costumes and sounds be saved in separate folders for ease of access?
- Naming files? Custom folders?
I'm really not sure how this could work, but I think that it could be very useful for some people.
