Added a Madagascar world with regional biomes

A separate World mode explores a heightmap-based Madagascar with dry regions, forests and highlands.

I added a separate World mode to test a streamed Madagascar landscape without replacing the existing game. Its terrain comes from real elevation data at a reduced scale.

The biome layer now distinguishes dry southern country, wetter regions, highlands and other areas. The overall balance is deliberately arid, with different ground colours and vegetation densities.

The mode includes flying, walking and a map with named places. It is still an environment test: the tree species are stand-ins, rivers remain unfinished, and the regular survival game has not been ported into this mode.
