Dungeongen: Remove most hardcoded dungeon nodes (#8594)

Biome-defined dungeon nodes was added as a feature to MT 5.0.0.
So now remove most of the hardcoded dungeon node code that assumes a
game has stone, sandstone, desert stone, and no other stone types.
If biome-defined dungeon nodes are not found, dungeon nodes fall back
to the 'cobble' mapgen alias if present, if not present they fall back
to biome-defined 'stone'.
Remove now-unnecessary mapgen aliases from MapgenBasic. Non-mgv6 games
now only need to define 3 to 5 mapgen aliases.

Document dungeon parameters.

Make c_lava_source fallback to c_water_source as both are used as cave
liquids.
