Adds item spawn density scaler option for worldgen.

With LOTS and LOTS and LOTS of awesome help from @freezerbunny & @BrianLefler!

That's remarkably simple, actually. Can't wait to test it!

Any option spawn rate > 1.0 will result in HUGE amounts of items being spawned. A 1.5 item spawn will turn anything with chance ~67 and up to a near 100% chance to spawn and throw tons of items out.

[freezerbunny]

A max of 1.0 and min of 0.1 with default to 0.5 should be sufficient, given that too much stuff drops already.

Or we could default it to 1.0 so as to not make the "default game" harder.

Regardless I'm sure someone will come in and say "This is just a work-around to the fundamental problem with how items spawn." and will want a rewrite of the entire item drop system.

@freezerbunny I'd disagree with that "given". 1.0 is fine. Turning it up might be amusing. ;-)

[freezerbunny]

Change to if(rng(1,100) > lets_spawn) and we're good to go.

C'mon Jenkins don't fail me now!

A global option to adjust item spawns seems like it's a good basis for controlling spawn rates regardless of how it ends up being implemented.

@Rivet-the-Zombie Wait until someone says that to field your response! 💨

Anyway looks good to go, if it works 👍
