Description

When creating memes with text over complex or varied-color backgrounds, the text can sometimes be difficult to read. Adding a text outline/stroke feature would significantly improve text visibility across different image types.
Current behavior:

Text is rendered with solid fill color only
No option to add a stroke/outline around text characters
Users must rely solely on text color and shadow to ensure readability, which isn't always sufficient

Proposed enhancement:

Add a text stroke/outline option in the text styling controls
Allow users to:

Enable/disable text stroke
Choose stroke color (commonly white or black)
Adjust stroke width (1-5px range)

Implement using HTML5 Canvas strokeText() method in addition to fillText()
