Aquifers

[justaureus]

Once we have 3D biomes, add aquifers as a biome

Update: Aquifers will be done has features similarly to how the deep dark sculk veins work

This can be done but needs to be profiled as sampling at full res may reduce performance a fair bit. Once the layered generator is implemented this will be implemented through that instead.

After doing a feature implementation - I've discovered this will cause issues with structure gen that occurs before feature stages:

Leaving the feature config here for future reference - I think we will wait until its either possible to place features before structure gen, or until the layered generator is implemented.
