## Description:
This was a proposal in the map channel of the dev discord server:
**Updates the Europe map to include Iceland, and removes Classic Europe
off rotation.** Classic Europe will remain in custom private map list
The only thing the new europe map didnt have from the classic version
was iceland, so i figured we should update the europe map to contain it,
since Iceland is a popular spawn in the classic version. Iceland is in
the same position as the classic map
The classic europe is frankly a lesser version of the new map as it
doesnt contain rivers , is smaller and the terrain has less quality, and
with the updated version, classic would just take up very needed space
in the lobby queue. We currently have a very large number of maps, which
results in players having to wait for a long time for an specific map in
public lobbies. This should help the issue a little at the very least.

## Description:
Move map generation outside of main repo, it has been rewritten in Go
and is much faster. Also refactor how maps are stored, one dir per map.
The map binaries are basically identical to before. Some maps like
Africa have 1% difference in bytes, but playing it looks exactly the
same.
Use lazy loading for map data access so only needed files are accessed.
Unit tests now load map binary instead of regenerating it from scratch,
speeding them up.
