partly working chunk-based map generator (doesn't save properly, spawn is pretty random)

 Doing now:
 ----------

+
+* Remove all kinds of systems that are made redundant by the new map
+  generator
+  - Sector heightmaps? At least they should be made redundant.
+  - Sector objects
+* Do something about AttributeDatabase/List being too slow
+* Save chunk metadata on disk
+* Change water side textures so that buggy water doesn't look bad
+* Make server find the spawning place from the real map data, not from
+  the heightmap
+* only_from_disk doesn't work that well anymore
+* Make the generator to run in background and not blocking block
+  placement and transfer
+* Fix the strange mineral occurences
