Make mapgen a world option, not a global setting

There are multiple mapgens, and you currently choose yours in minetest.conf. I'd suggest making this a world option instead and adding it to the world creation menu. Such would allow one world to have the default mapgen, another to have indev, another v7, etc.

1) It already is a per world setting, its just read from minetest.conf at world creation.
2) The world creation menu can be redone if the Lua menu is merged.
3) Its interesting how every 2 days people come up with the same idea.

Perhaps that's because those are good ideas many people wish to be implemented :-)

I didn't know yet that it is only needed for world creation and later read from the world data. That's very intresting and may prove helpful.
