My idea is that the optimal solution is we can set any fields we want:
set_city_map or set_citizen_base or add_building.  Then we call 
get_ppl_happy, and it automatically knows to recompute the surplus 
and so on.

This seems like a big project, since to avoid being overly bugprone,
it would pretty much need to have some automatic code generation.
So I opted for a simpler patch. 

I'm fine with not putting this in yet, if performance isn't a
problem right now.  The two obvious uses I can see are in the CM, 
and for settlers -- the latter we can't easily do right now.  But, of
course, I haven't actually coded that up.
