Bump the engine submodule to 79d406a (2D lightmap). The world scene now uses
UseLighting instead of the per-sprite ambient: a lightmap multiplies day/night
× occlusion over the world, so forests cast soft shade and the world darkens
spatially toward night. Occluders are mountains (new TerrainDef.BlocksLight)
plus mature trees, rebuilt from the live population. PlantGrowthSystem samples
the local light per plant (Lighting.SampleAt), so undergrowth under canopy
grows slower. A dev-console 'light' command places a point light at the cursor
to show cast shadows at night. Completes the plant ecosystem (A–D).

Bump the engine submodule to f39ee9e (half-texel UV inset that removes the
black tile seams seen while zooming). Add a Fertility multiplier to
TerrainDef (forest soil rich, sand/mountain poor); plants record their
cell's fertility as PlantGrowth.GrowthRate at spawn, and the growth system
multiplies the per-frame calendar day-delta by it — so growth stays tied to
the in-game calendar and runs faster on fertile soil.

The whole game is now described by Mods/Core — the first consumer of
the engine's new MrGameEng.Mods module:
- textures/ moved to Mods/Core/Textures; atlases are built at game
start from the merged texture tree of all active mods into Cache/
(gitignored, incremental) instead of being committed, and the
GameAssets atlas handles are gone with them
- terrain, plants and pawns are JSON defs (Mods/Core/Defs) with parent
inheritance; scenes read TerrainDef/PlantDef/PawnDef instead of
hardcoded arrays, and the TerrainKind enum is retired
- HUD strings come from Mods/Core/Languages (ru default, en fallback)
through LanguageManager; the language switches at runtime
- new console commands: mods, lang [code], defs [type]; atlas now
inspects the runtime-built cache
- bump engine: MrGameEng.Mods module and the explicit-sources
AtlasBuilder overload
