When I added farmfood, it seemed the same sort of parameter as railfood
(and railprod and railtrade), so I put it in the same place.  In practice,
I suspect all four of these could (should?) be moved into the terrain ruleset.

Also, I find "civstyle" to be a very misleading misnomer.  It's only used
in one place: to determine the radius of initially visible squares at the
very start of the game.  Should we rename it to something like "startrad",
and re-code its use to be more general?
