Re-coordinate the SVG #32

We could massively reduce the file size of data.js simply by transforming the coordinate system to a grid of a few thousand in each direction, and snapping the vertices to integer coordinates. The visible effect would not be noticeably different unless you zoomed in a lot.

This is also done in the tight-borders branch. It did indeed massively reduce the file size.
