Feat: Display ghost railways when building cities and ports (#3202)

## Description:

Based on [this suggestion on
Discord](https://discord.com/channels/1284581928254701718/1447110257196138577)
and feedback gathered in [this
thread](https://discord.com/channels/1359946986937258015/1469598906173227184).

Supersedes #3143 

This PR introduces "ghost railways": when you are going to place a city
or port, previews railway connections that will be made when actually
building the structure.

Ghost railways are skipped if the structure is going to be snapped to
existing railways (as in railway snapping functionality introduced in
#3156 ).
