Local maps

Hosting mapgen

Features:

1. Client will remember new versions of map generator, that will used in map generation for lobbies, like 1.8.5, 1.8.6, 1.8.7... etc.
2. Dynamic loading of some map generator settings like: Map style, Map biomes
3. Finally an ability to generate multiple mapgens and select only one to host!

From a practical/end-user perspective is there a summary of the main differences/benefits of this over the standard client?

@maudlin27

1. Lighter
2. Faster launch
3. Faster lobby connections
4. Faster game launches
5. Faster reconnections
6. Faster patch confirming before game launch

Theoretically, things that can be made faster:

1. Map generations
2. Lobby authorization
3. Ice adapter

But those things will never happen in near future, because it is different projects
