## 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:
Preparation for nuke wars, for v30.
Next PR will be adding the nuke wars modifier for public games, but
Wonders https://github.com/openfrontio/OpenFrontIO/pull/3224 needs to be
merged first to avoid merge conflicts.
### 1. Disable boats setting
It's possible to disable `UnitType.TransportShip` now. Because they are
not needed in nuke wars and can even be annoying.

/>
### 2. Team spawn zones for random spawn
Maps can have `teamGameSpawnAreas` in their json file now.
Spawn areas are currently active if
- a supported map is chosen (Baikal Nuke Wars or Four Islands)
- a supported team size is chosen (2 teams on Baikal Nuke Wars or 2/4
teams on Four Islands)
- random spawn is enabled

## Description:
This PR removes the nation strength. Reasoning:
- It is currently unused. The backstory can be found in #2498
- It forces map-makers to do balancing work, which is probably not a
good idea
- It increases map-making work
- It increases nation balancing complexity by a lot (we need to have all
the json files in mind)
- It makes humans avoid map areas completely because there is always
that one, same, strong nation
- The map lead Nikola123 wants to "not deal with the stupid nations and
their balancing"
If the goal of nation strength was to make them feel different I would
suggest a nation personality system. Nations that love to boat, love to
ally, love to nuke, love to fullsend, etc.

## Description:
Made a type of map we don't already have: Small square map, one Island
in each corner. Could be great for boat gameplay or maybe even nuke
wars.
The special thing is: **All islands are exactly 25% of the territory!**
Was a lot of work drawing that in GIMP...
