Allow multiple cave liquids in a biome definition (#8481)

This allows games to specify biome cave liquids and avoid the old hardcoded behaviour, but preserves the ability to have multiple cave liquids in one biome, such as lava and water. When multiple cave liquids are defined by the biome definition, make each entire cave use a randomly chosen liquid, instead of every small cave segment using a randomly chosen liquid. Plus an optimisation: Don't place nodes if cave liquid is defined as 'air'
