Tweaked Mese behavior so that the old Mese object is still available. #82

With the changes in mapgen there is an inconsistent use of the old mese blocks and the new crystals in stone. The old parts keep the old mese and new parts get the new one. |

There is no way to convert old mese in the map into any other block without also changing both the structures people have made with it and what's in players' inventories. Either we keep generating old mese, which is undesirable, or we switch to the new stuff and let the old stuff gradually fade away as it is collected. It's either that, or add an ABM to convert the old mese into the crystals-in-stone version (and then only do so below Y=-100 or so), which also risks damaging peoples' structures. Inconsistency in the map is better than destroying peoples stuff and players are not going to care, in practice, whether a given part of the map has old mese or new mese because they're not going to even notice the pattern. All they're going to think is "oh, some old mese here" or "hm, new ore? cool." I don't think anyone is going to care one way or the other which one shows up in a given part of the map. |

Screw it. I give up. |
In old map areas, structures where Mese was used, and player inventorues, the old black-on-yellow block is present as it used to be. In newly-generated map areas, Mese Crystals in Stone will generate instead, as default:stone_with_mese. Old Mese is not generated at all anymore, as this object is deprecated. When dug, the new Mese Crystals in Stone drops a single Mese Crystal as before, while digging the old Mese object returns exactly those objects as before. Mese Crystals can be crafted into Mese Blocks or into Fragments as before. Mese pickaxes are crafted from Mese Crystals and sticks. The original default:mese, if needed, can be obtained by crafting two Mese Crystals, which yields two of the old Mese object. Two of these can be crafted back into two Crystals if needed.
