New and updated categories for maps (#4254)

Resolves #4250 ## Description: Huge update for the map categories: https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/b7dc6344-efdc-4073-b15a-92b6dccdcc19 **New Categories** - Re-adds Continental category, with the 7 traditional continents - Re-adds the category of Arcade along all its maps. - Renames "Other" to "Fictional", so that tag is more specific and feels more in-theme with the others. The info.json's of the maps that had the Other category got changed to Fictional **Map Category changes** - **achiran**: adds Europe (while the map is fictional, it is made up of real islands from ireland. (Since world includes Dyslexdria and Antarctica has Deglaciated Antarctica, both fictional , i figured for consistency we could include these mash-up maps too) - **aegean**: adds Asia category (Turkey is in Asia) - **arctic**: adds Asia category - **choppingblock**: updated "other" to "fictional", added to "new" - **deglaciatedantarctica**: updated "other" to "fictional" - **didier**: re-added to Arcade - **didierfrance**: re-added to Arcade - **dyslexdria**: updated "other" to "fictional" - **fourislands**: updated "other" to "fictional" - **hawaii**: remove north_america tag (while part of the US, hawaii is geographically only in Oceania) - **labyrinth**: added to new, re-added to Arcade - **marenostrum**: added africa and asia tags, the continents which the mediterranean borders - **onion**: re-added to Arcade - **pangaea**: updated "other" to "fictional" - **passage**: updated "other" to "fictional" - **sierpinski** re-added to Arcade - **surrounded**: updated "other" to "fictional" - **svalmel**: updated "other" to "fictional", added to europe and north_america (same logic as achiran) - **thebox**: re-added to Arcade - **tradersdream**: updated "other" to "fictional" - **worldinverted**: updated "other" to "fictional", added to "new" - **africa**: added to Continental - **antarctica**: added to Continental - **asia**: added to Continental - **europe**: added to Continental - **northamerica**: added to Continental - **southamerica**: added to Continental - **oceania**: added to Continental - **mississippiriver**: added to "new" - **korea**: added to "new" - **middleeast**: added to "new" - **balkans**: added to "new" - **indiansubcontinent**: added to "new" - **taiwanstrait**: added to "new" - **northwestpassage**: added to "new" - **southeastasia**: added to "new" - **venice**: added to "new" - **yellowsea**: added to "new" - **hongkong**: added to "new" - **titan**: added to "new" - **caribbean**: added to "new" - **juandefucastrait**: added to "new" - **danishstraits**: added to "new" ## Please complete the following: - [x] I have added screenshots for all UI updates - [x] I process any text displayed to the user through translateText() and I've added it to the en.json file - [x] I have added relevant tests to the test directory ## Please put your Discord username so you can be contacted if a bug or regression is found: tri.star1011

 `translation_key` is the key of the map's display name in `../resources/lang/en.json`. It must be `map.<map_name>`.

-`categories` groups the map in the map picker. Each entry must be one of: `featured`, `world`, `europe`, `asia`, `north_america`, `africa`, `south_america`, `oceania`, `antarctica`, `cosmic`, `tournament`, `other`. Maps that straddle regions (e.g. Black Sea, Bering Strait) can list more than one. Add `featured` to show the map in the featured section of the map picker.

 `multiplayer_frequency` is how many times the map appears in the public multiplayer playlist. Use 0 (or omit) to keep the map out of the regular rotation.
