## Description:
Small-island removal previously ran only on the full-size terrain. The
compact (4x downscaled) map inherited that filtering before being
downscaled, which meant islands that survived at full size could end up
as tiny specks in the compact map.
This PR runs `removeSmallIslands` on the 4x terrain as well, with half
the threshold (15 vs 30 tiles), so very small islands are pruned in
compact maps while the full-size map is unchanged.

## Description:
Expands the Aegean map to the left. Currently the 2 major landmasses are
unbalanced, which causes the eastern side to almost always win, both in
FFA and team games.
Original Width: 1600px | New Width=1700px
Also adds more nations / NPCs in the Greek side to create more balance
with the Turkish side, aswell as in the islands, to compensate for the
lack of bots / tribes spawning in there, to boost early island gameplay
and fasten games.

This has been a heavily requested map in the community, having
suggestions in the Discord, Subreddit and even in some videos (for
example i saw Ultimus Rex suggest an aegean map when asked what maps he
would like in his last stream)
The map is designed so that the greek and turkish main landmasses are
around 400,000 pixels in area, which combined account for around less or
equal to 80% of the map. This means players will have to cross the sea
to win, and to do so they will have to hop across the islands, which
means there will be heavy warship action, instead of having stalemates
like in most island maps where the gap between islands is too large and
players would rather bomb each other.
