New tree tokens

(Some of) The new tokens usable for trees. They need some heavy experimentation, so I'm not adding them to the main page yet. Also, the init file TREE_* tokens to give your tree parts individual tiles, verified with TREE_TWIGS. I'm not going to add all those into the table.

Token	Arguments	Description
BRANCH_DENSITY	number	How dense the normal branches are. The actual effect of the number isn't clear to me?
BRANCH_RADIUS	number	How far the normal branches reach. Might be capped at some number?
CAP_NAME	tile name?	What the mushroom cap of the tree is named.
CAP_PERIOD	number	How fast the mushroom cap (if any) of the tree grows. Lower numbers seem faster?
CAP_RADIUS	number	How far the mushroom cap of the tree reaches. Might be capped at some number?
DIRECTED_BRANCH_DENSITY	number?	Unknown. String dump only, not used by any trees.
DIRECTED_BRANCHES_NAME	tile name?	What the directed branches(?) of the tree are named.
DIRECTED_BRANCH_RADIUS	number?	Unknown. String dump only, not used by any trees.
HEAVY_BRANCH_DENSITY	number	How dense the thick branches are. The actual effect of the number isn't clear to me?
HEAVY_BRANCH_RADIUS	number	How far the thick branches reach. Might be capped at some number?
HEAVY_BRANCHES_NAME	tile name?	What the thick branches of the tree are named.
LIGHT_BRANCH_DENSITY	number	How dense the light branches(?) are.
LIGHT_BRANCH_RADIUS	number	How far the light branches(?) reach. Might be capped at some number?
LIGHT_BRANCHES_NAME	tile name?	What the branches of the tree are named.
MAX_TRUNK_DIAMETER	number	How thick the tree's trunk may be. Capped at 3.
MAX_TRUNK_HEIGHT	number	How tall the tree's trunk may be. Capped at 8.
ROOT_DENSITY	number	How dense the roots are. The actual effect of the number isn't clear to me?
ROOT_NAME / ROOTS_NAME	tile name?	What the roots of the tree are named. Both tags exist in string dump.
ROOT_RADIUS	number	How far the roots reach. Might be capped at some number?
STANDARD_TILE_NAMES		The tree uses the default names for its tiles (roots, twigs, trunk, ...).
TREE_HAS_MUSHROOM_CAP		The tree has a rounded cap.
TRUNK_BRANCHING	number	How much the trunk of the tree can branch out. 0 means the tree will grow straight.
TRUNK_NAME	tile name?	What the mushroom cap of the tree is named.
TRUNK_PERIOD	number	How fast the tree will grow tall. Lower numbers seem faster?
TRUNK_WIDTH_PERIOD	number	How fast the tree will grow broad. Lower numbers seem faster?
TWIGS_NAME	tile name?	What the twigs of the tree are named.
TWIGS_ABOVE_BRANCHES	0 or 1	If the argument is 1, the tree can have twigs above its normal branches. Defaults to 1.
TWIGS_ABOVE_HEAVY_BRANCHES	0 or 1	If the argument is 1, the tree can have twigs above its thick branches. Defaults to 0.
TWIGS_ABOVE_TRUNK	0 or 1	If the argument is 1, the tree can have twigs above its trunk. Defaults to 0.
TWIGS_BELOW_BRANCHES	0 or 1	If the argument is 1, the tree can have twigs below its normal branches. Defaults to 0.
TWIGS_BELOW_HEAVY_BRANCHES	0 or 1	If the argument is 1, the tree can have twigs below its thick branches. Defaults to 0.
TWIGS_BELOW_TRUNK	0 or 1	If the argument is 1, the tree can have twigs below its trunk. Defaults to 0.
TWIGS_SIDE_BRANCHES	0 or 1	If the argument is 1, the tree can have twigs next its normal branches. Defaults to 1.
TWIGS_SIDE_HEAVY_BRANCHES	0 or 1	If the argument is 1, the tree can have twigs next its thick branches. Defaults to 0.
TWIGS_SIDE_TRUNK	0 or 1	If the argument is 1, the tree can have twigs next its trunk. Defaults to 0.
