696d31460c fairland: Make actual island sizes fair
The previous commit reduced the difference in island size within the
same batch of islands to at most one.  Eliminate the remaining
difference by shrinking the bigger islands by one sector.

This invalidates the precomputed exclusive zones, so recompute them.

fairland-test needs a tweak to avoid loss of test coverage.

ae988c00ba fairland: Make planned island sizes fair
The previous two commits put the same number of islands closest to
each continent.  This one makes their planned sizes match: instead of
rolling dice separately for each island's size, we roll dice only for
the first continent's islands.  The other continent's islands get the
same sizes.

Actual island sizes still differ when islands can't be grown to their
planned size.  To be addressed next.

00bfeb833e fairland: Fail when island can't be placed, for fairness
The previous commit made island distribution more fair by placing
islands close to a continent in turn.  This is still unfair when
fairland can't place all the islands.

Make grow_islands() fail when it can't place all islands, and main()
start over then, just like it does when grow_continents() fails.

Deities can no longer fill the world with islands by asking for a
impossibly high number of islands.  Tolerable loss, I think.

89a386aa60 tests/fairland: Cover "plenty of space" better
Reduce number of islands in fairland run "plain" so there's plenty of
space for them.  Scarce space is still covered by run "stunted".

f18159fb23 tests/fairland: Improve coverage
Rename the existing fairland run to "plain".

New run "stunted" to cover larger minimal distances, islands
that can't fully grow, and islands that can't be placed.

New run "no-spike" to cover 0% spike.

New run "spike" to cover high spike percentage, mountains and -i.

fed6620a0b tests/files tests/fairland: Check stderr and exit status
New helper run_and_cmp to automate the job: run a program capturing
its standard output, standard error and exit status, then compare the
actual with the expected results.

ab913d73f9 tests: Rename final xdump files to final.xdump
The other test output files have fixed names, and having just one with
a name that varies with the test name complicates things with no gain.

39c26f4238 Switch PRNG from BSD random() to Mersenne Twister
random() may yield different pseudo-random number sequences for the
same seed on another system.  For instance, at least some versions of
MinGW provide a random() in -liberty that differs from traditional BSD
(see commit c8231b12).  Rather inconvenient for regression testing.

MT19937 Mersenne Twister is a proven, high-quality PRNG.  Actual code
is reference code provided by the inventors[*].  Quick tests show
performance comparable to random().

Like random(), MT is not cryptographically secure: observing enough of
its output permits guessing its state, and thus its future output.  I
don't think players can do that.

Drop the copy of BSD random() we added for Windows.

Like the previous commit, this changes the server's die rolls, and
makes fairland create a different random map for the same seed.  Update
expected smoke test results accordingly.
