Resolves "vegetation" errors and improves performance

[QtKaitly]

Please review, I'm new to C# but my personal testing shows this works well. I'm not super proud of it as I used AI and I prefer to learn and do it myself but at this point I just wanted to get my mod-list playable with mods I consider essential. If you want to reject the PR based on that alone I won't hold it against you.

This should make generation a little bit more lazy and rely more on mod data to avoid race conditions and reliance on real time neighbor chunk loading, as a result everything generates a bit quicker and without the vegetation error. Startup time with the mod also feels a LOT faster.

If you want me to make any changes let me know.

If you want to try it you can git clone https://github.com/QtKaitly/Rivers-Mod.git, switch to the API branch, and run the build with the build shell file for your system after you set the environment variable VINTAGE_STORY=\path\to\vintage\story

PLEASE NOTE: I cannot guarantee that it would be backwards compatible. Without having tested for this use case, I would be inclined to assume it would not be compatible with existing generation. Use with caution and make a backup if you are planning to upgrade to it on an existing world.

I only used it on brand new worlds so just don't think it would work on old worldgen from previous versions. If using it on a new world this won't be a potential problem of course, and I noticed drastically improved generation speeds.
