RFR: 8316159: Update BoxLayout sample image for crispier edges

**Problem**

On a standard display with the scale of 100%, the BoxLayout sample has blurred edges.

It is the result of how SVG is rendered: the strokes fall between the pixel grid, therefore a 1-pixel wide stroke is blurred between the previous and the following pixels with 50% of colour on each pixel. It doesn't look as good.

**Fix**

Move all rectangles half a pixel to make edges crisp. The edges of the rectangles look crisp in 100% and 200%.
