Added experimental settings to allow for a humidity perlin layer

and to allow the spawned object to *replace* the node it would otherwise
spawn on top of.

Also, extended API to allow for a node to be directly named in the
register_generate_plant() call.

Regarding function_or_treedef, this must either be a string indicating the
name of the function that should be called if a suitable spawn location has
been found, OR a table with an L-Systems tree definition.
Regarding node_or_function_or_treedef, this must either be table with an
L-Systems tree definition, or a string with a node or function name.
If you specify a string with a function name, that function will be passed a
single position parameter (in the usual table format), indicating where the
object should be placed. If you specified an L-Systems tree definition, then
that definition will be passed directly to the spawn_tree() function along
with the position to spawn the tree on.
If you specified a string, the code will attempt to determine, as needed,
whether that string specifies a node name. If it does, that node will be
placed on top of the target position directly.
If it wasn't a node, the code will assume you meant to specify a function
name, in which case that function will be passed a single position parameter
(in the usual table format), indicating where the named function should place
the object.
If you specified a table, the code assumed this table contains an L-Systems
tree definition, then that definition will be passed directly to the
spawn_tree() function along with the position to spawn the tree on.

================
Humidity Mapping
================
Like the temperature map above, Perlin values can be tested to determine the
approximate humidity of the *air* in the area. This does not check for nearby
water, just general humidity.
A value of -1 equates to 100% humidity (basically, it should be a thick fog
if it could be seen), a value of 0 is 50%, and a value of +1 is 0% (dry as a
bone).
