Description

When the Artboard tool is selected, G/S (like the G/R/S of the Select and Path tools) needs to allow the user to grab and scale the selected artboard. Code should be reused in the implementation.

Research direction
Investigate how G/R/S (grab/rotate/scale) transformation is implemented in the Select Tool and Path Tool. Look for relevant source files under the tools directory, such as select tool.rs and path tool.rs. Understand the pattern used for handling G/S keys and apply it to the ArtboardTool, reusing existing utility functions for grab and scale transformations.
