Mapgen: Performance improvement and fixes for updateLiquid (#4065)

- Adds only ~100 nodes per chunk to trans_liquid with similar processing time
- Adds liquid nodes themselves instead of potential solid nodes below them
- CONTENT_IGNORE nodes are interpreted as if they continue their neighborhood
- This allows liquid columns to span multiple chunks without being interrupted
- NOTE: Expects an one-node border in generation chunk without liquid changes
