Add allowed_mapgens option in game.conf. (#9263)

wt · web-flow · commit f91124a0c0d8 · 2020-04-06T16:06:16.000+02:00
The game.conf has a disallowed_mapgens option. However, some games
require a certain mapgen to be used, like the CTF plugin. This change
adds an option to specify allowed mapgens so that the setting can be
specified in a way that needn't be updated as map generators are added
to Minetest.
