Terrain smoothing tool

[Philip Taylor]

See this suggestion for a blur/smooth tool.

I expect it can be implemented like:

• Copy source/tools/atlas/AtlasUI/ScenarioEditor/Tools/AlterElevation.cpp to SmoothElevation.cpp, and make the necessary name changes.
• See binaries/data/tools/atlas/scripts/section/terrain.js and add the new tool to the list in there.
• See source/tools/atlas/GameInterface/Messages.h and add the new one (like where it has AlterElevation)
• See source/tools/atlas/GameInterface/Handlers/ElevationHandlers.cpp and add the new one.

As for actually implementing the smooth functionality, it'll probably need some thinking and experimenting to discover what's a good smoothing algorithm that behaves usefully and intuitively.

Ideally the same tool would roughen too (when right-clicking), as basically the exact opposite of smoothing.

Thanks! This seems to do the job - just made a few minor changes (used std::vector instead of calloc, used ssize_t consistently instead of int, etc) and added a new icon (using my artistic powers to copy-and-paste a bit of one existing icon onto another existing icon - it should probably be redesigned eventually).
