Motivation / Problem

While trying to understand the cause for #9407, I noticed some

...
_generating_world = true;
DoStuff();
_generating_world = false;
...

They are relatively safe (mainly used in GUI code), but I think it can (and should) be done safer.
The only place _generating_world can be explicitly set to false is in _GenerateWorld(), ie during the real generation.

Description

I just followed the idea of ffec9b4, and used Backup to replace all direct writes to _generating_world from outside _GenerateWorld().
One place was already doing a proper backup, but without using Backup, so I updated it too.

Of course, the better solution would not be relying on _generating_world all over the place...
