'generateBiomes()' constructs the biomemap as it generates biomes.
The biome calculated at first stone surface encountered is added to
the biomemap.
Previously, if no stone surface was encountered in a mapchunk column
the biomemap was left empty for that (x, z) position, causing biome
dust and water surface decoration placement to fail.
If at the base of a mapchunk column the biomemap is empty, add the
currently active biome to the biomemap, or if biome is NULL calculate
it for this position and add it to the biomemap.
Previously, caverns confused tunnel generation causing biome top and filler
nodes to appear in caverns.
Split 'generateCaves()' into 2 functions to separate tunnel and large
randomwalk cave generation.
In each mapgen re-order cave generation to generate tunnels before caverns.
Add new biome fields 'node_dungeon', 'node_dungeon_alt', 'node_dungeon_stair'.
If 'node_dungeon' is not defined dungeons fall back to classic behaviour.
Remove messy and imprecise dungeon material code from 'generateBiomes()'.
Code deciding dungeon materials is now in 'generateDungeons()' and uses the
biome at mapchunk centre for more precision.
Remove hardcoded 'MG_STONE' types as long intended.
Previously only 'mapgen water source' and 'mapgen river water source'
were checked for. Games can use multiple liquid nodes defined for biomes,
many of which will not be aliased to those 2 mapgen aliases, causing
floating dungeons to generate in some liquids.
Now we check for liquid drawtype instead, so can remove liquid nodes
from dungeonparams.
Also check for 'airlike' drawtype instead of 'CONTENT_AIR' to avoid
generation in 'airlike' nodes in some rare situations. This will also be
needed for when we add definable biome air nodes.
No longer decide placement on 'buildable_to' parameter.
Dust nodes only look acceptable placed on cubic nodes.
Modders may not want to make their plantlike decorations 'buildable_to'.
