[Freeciv-Dev] (PR#9983) Proposal: Terrains independent scenarios

It should be possible for the scenario to specify the hmap, tmap, wmap,
etc., separately.  If each map is available mapgen will use it, if not
then the map is created.

But not this changes these maps so that they are public.  Currently
mapgen is a black box.  We were talking about splitting it up, so each
element would still be a black box.  But now we are talking of imposing
a consistent model on all mapgens.  This could be much better because it
is a lot more modular (gen234 and gen15 should differ only in their
make_hmap() routine).  But some things will no longer be possible.
