Feat: Alphanumeric Coordinate Grid on Alternate View (#2938)

## Description:

Adds a coordinate grid to the Alternate View (holding spacebar) using
numbers on the X-axis, and letters on the Y-axis. No more "he's
attacking you in that—well, the little peninsula thing... next to the
island! which island? uhh..." moments when playing with friends.
Optimally maps have letters A-J (just like in the Battleships board
game) but special maps like Amazon River dynamically resize to only have
2 letters so as to not have too many number columns. This feature
overall can be toggled via the settings menu.

Also saw it requested on the [official
discord](https://discord.com/channels/1359946986937258015/1457037351422263480)
a couple times, thought it was a neat idea.
