Stratum ore: Allow use with no noise for simple horizontal strata
If either of the 2 noise parameters are omitted the ore will occur from y_min
to y_max in a simple horizontal stratum. As this does not compute noise
performance improves, and is ideal for placing many layers.

Add static_save property to luaentites to not save them statically. (#5112)
* Add no_static_save property to luaentites to not save them statically.
This allows for temporary objects that would get deleted anyway as soon as they are loaded again without the static saving overhead.
* Use positive meaning for static_save object property
* Invert meaning also for the LUA parameter
Note: getboolfield() does not change &result when field does not exist, so it defaults to the default value in the header file, which is 'true'.
u16 peer_id is used everywhere, to be more consistent and permit some evolutions on this type in the future (i'm working on a PoC), uniformize u16 peer_id to SessionId peer_id

Positional sound: Limit volume when closer than 1 node
Change OpenAL distance model from AL_INVERSE_DISTANCE to
AL_INVERSE_DISTANCE_CLAMPED to avoid excessive volume when very close
to the sound location, for example MTG doors, and MTG fire sounds which
are combined at an average position and often located in air nodes.
Because AL_REFERENCE_DISTANCE has been reduced to 1 node (the distance
under which gain is clamped), multiply volume by the same factor to keep
sound gains the same as before, since the gain is calculated as:
Biome API: Revert biomes, decos, ores being relative to water level
Feature is unnecessary and would greatly complicate future development,
it would also make 'get biome at pos' extremely complex.
Mgv7: Revert option to repeat surface biomes in floatlands, which
depended on the above.
Biome generation: Fix layers of 'filler' nodes at biome y limits
Error was exposed by commit a1389c38658fe69c3bd25c3099bae9a4e51ed401
'nplaced' was not set to U16_MAX when biome 'stone' was placed, so when
biome was recalculated in a column of stone, the 'nplaced' value
caused a few remaining filler nodes to be placed.
Occurs when the lower biome has a deeper depth of 'top' plus 'filler'
than the upper biome.
Cavegen: Avoid unsupported biome 'top' or 'filler' nodes
For 3D noise tunnels only, replace unsupported biome 'top' and 'filler'
nodes in tunnel roof with the defined biome 'stone'.
This makes terrain created by 3D noise tunnels consistent with the rest
of mapgen, which does exactly the same in this situation.

Object properties: Add 'glow', disables light's effect if negative
The 'glow' value is added to the ambient light value.
Negative 'glow' disables light's effect on object colour, for faking

Dig prediction allows clients to remove dug nodes without

This patch allows mods to override dig prediction,

For precise control of schematic vertical position relative to the

Avoids workarounds that add empty nodes to a schematic and therefore

Creates a single undulating ore stratum that is continuous across mapchunk

Due to being continuous is ideal for creating bands of alternative stone
