Something for the shoppa players

So, this was a relatively simple change, that while it should work ok, will probably require a bit of testing to avoid leaving out too many people w/ wimpier machines. We might even have to institute some sort of machine capabilities indicator for online play.
See Issue 394.
For people who didn't immediately spot it, this is a 4096x4096 map. The issue is for supporting variable map dimensions, this removes the limit on static map PNG sizes, apart from the limits imposed by SDL, your computer, and sanity.

as a shoppa player i just can say :

Star and Moon
Maybe for these maps there should be more clouds higher up, because it looks weird with the land so high above it.
nemo
Well, gotta say, if you are looking for looks, probably should stick to more normal land dimensions :-p
Not really looking to spend too much time supporting weird dimensions. More a favour to the shoppa guys.
Would require a new theme format really. Think for example, how Underwater theme would work.
Would need new clouds for higher up. And maybe more background stuff too.

Nice. I hope my computer can handle it tho!
Koda
well terrain can go over clouds, could make a nice "heaven" zone
nemo
Hum. I guess this is theme fixable.
Could add a layer or two of thick default background clouds on all themes apart where it should be disabled for stylistic reasons, like Deep Space.
