The problem is that gen2 creates the map one continent at a time, and if
there isn't sufficient space to place a newly generated continent, it'll
try again with a smaller continent, without regard to making excessively
small continents.

This patch requires every placed continent to be no smaller than 95% as
big as the requested continent. If it can't place sufficient big
continents, it starts over, reducing by 5% the size of continent it is
attempting to make. This keeps it fair, instead of always reducing the
size of continents generated later.
