Fix load_textures overwriting tile_size with nil for variable-size atlases

When an atlas declares tile_size_px = null (variable-size tiles), the
load_textures call was overwriting the map's tile_size with nil, causing
an arithmetic error in draw_layer on the first render frame.

Guard the tile_size update so it only applies when tile_size_px is
non-nil; maps using variable-size atlases keep their tile_size from
the stub default (32) set at load time.
