Hex grid for basic world generation

[chrismdp]

• [X] Add https://github.com/flauwekeul/honeycomb
• [X] Add simple viewport that works on desktop and mobile
• [x] Create simple heightmap with thresholds for sea, lakes and mountains. Everything else is grassland for now.

Need very simple world for now:

• Mountains
• Sea
• Grassland (good soil, can have forests)
• Plains (contains rocky deposits or forests)

Rivers start in mountains and head to sea

I think I’m going to make this really simple to start, as the game only has simple requirements initially. Mostly grassland, with some forests and mountains.

Later, coasts and rivers. Rivers (and roads if we need them) will be along hex edges, and will speed up movement and provide opportunities for fishing.
